Uxbridge Vine Street station opened on 8 September 1856 as Uxbridge Station and was the earliest of three railway stations in Uxbridge, London.

History

When opened, it was the northern terminus of the Great Western Railway's Uxbridge branch from the main line at West Drayton. South from Uxbridge town centre, the line ran near Whitehall Road and Cleveland Road.

In November 1885, the Staines West branch opened sharing a short section of the Vine Street branch to connect to the main line. An intermediate station at Cowley opened in 1904.

The Uxbridge Branch continued to be operated under British Rail until 10 September 1962, when the service from West Drayton was withdrawn and Uxbridge Vine Street station was closed to passengers.[1][2] Goods traffic ceased two years later with the exception of the line south of the Grand Union Canal on which freight services were operated to the Middlesex Oil and Chemical Works in Yiewsley until 8 January 1979. Demolition of Uxbridge Vine Street station occurred in 1969. Hillingdon Road now covers its site.[2]

A plan was approved in the <templatestyles src="Template:Visible anchor/styles.css" />Uxbridge and Rickmansworth Railway Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. lxxiii) and the <templatestyles src="Template:Visible anchor/styles.css" />Uxbridge and Rickmansworth Railway Act 1862 (26 & 27 Vict. c. xxxvi)) to construct an extension of the Uxbridge Branch to create a link northwards to Template:Rws in Hertfordshire via Template:Rws, connecting it to the Watford and Rickmansworth Railway (W&RR). The scheme never went ahead as the GWR withdrew its funding.[3]
