The station opened on 1 May 1907,[4] with the intention that the branch was to be extended across the town to a point just south of Uxbridge Vine Street railway station, the terminus of the GWR branch from West Drayton.

Some land was purchased and the lines extended over High Street on a bridge,[5] but the proposal was abandoned in 1914.

[6] The branch ran along the west side of Shire Ditch and Frays River and through the centre of the present Denham Country Park.

The curve between the South and East Junctions was little used, and closed during World War I.

The locations of the curves joining the main line can be seen in the landscape today, forming the northern perimeters of the park's northern lake and woodland adjacent to Uxbridge Golf Course.
