Brentford railway station opened on 1 May 1860 on the Brentford Branch Line (the only line of the Great Western and Brentford Railway Company) which had opened in 1859 from to Brentford Dock.[1] It stood immediately north of Brentford High Street (the A315 road) on the embankment leading to the viaduct into the dock. The station closed on 22 March 1915 as a wartime economy measure, re-opened on 12 April 1920 and closed permanently on 4 May 1942. The station was demolished in 1957.
In April 2017, it was proposed that the line could reopen to allow a new link from Southall to Hounslow and possibly down to the planned Old Oak Common station with a new station in Brentford called Brentford Golden Mile.[2] The proposal suggested the service could be operated by Great Western Railway and could be open by 2020 with a new service from Southall to Brentford and possible later to Old Oak Common.[3] It was likely that the site would be further up from the original and would have a later extension to the existing Brentford station.[4]
