[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[2] as a wartime economy measure,[3] re-opened on 12 April 1920[2] and closed permanently on 4 May 1942.

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.

[4] 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.

[5] It was likely that the site would be further up from the original and would have a later extension to the existing Brentford station.
