A station called Uxbridge Road opened on the West London Railway in 1869.
This was on the GWR Middle Circle route that ran from Paddington through Shepherd's Bush to Earl's Court.
It was also served by London & North Western Railway Outer Circle trains from Broad Street to Mansion House, but by 1914 this became an Earl's Court to Willesden Junction shuttle.
Uxbridge Road station was located at the eastern end of Shepherd's Bush Green, close to the start of Holland Park Avenue.
The two present-day Shepherd's Bush stations are in close proximity and form an interchange between London Underground and National Rail.
