History
The station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 October 1906 within the complex of lines at the south east end of the New North Main Line (NNML), a location with low potential for passenger traffic.
The station closed temporarily on 1 February 1915, reopening on 29 March 1920.
The station closed permanently on 30 June 1947 without a replacement when the Central line of London Underground was extended from North Acton to West Ruislip alongside the NNML under the 1935-1940 New Works Programme delayed by World War II.
Old Oak Common
As part of the plans for HS2 there are plans for a major interchange between the North London Line, the West London Line, Watford DC Line, West Coast Main Line, Great Western Main Line and Crossrail.
