| Description |
English: Uxbridge Underground station (2) This is the High Street entrance to the station, which was opened in 1938, enabling the closure of the previous Underground terminus off Belmont Road. The opening, and the introduction of fast direct trains to London from the centre of Uxbridge, saw the rapid demise of one of the Great Western Railway's terminus stations in the town, High Street, which closed to passengers in 1939 on the outbreak of the Second World War and never reopened afterwards, while the other former Great Western terminus station at Vine Street lingered on until closure in 1962.
Today both Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line trains operate from here. Umder the current scheduling the earliest weekday Metropolitan Line train leaves at 0512 and the last Piccadilly Line train arrives back at 0131 hours so the station is hardly shut at all. |
