History
The station was opened by the Great Western Railway Company on 1 October 1906[2] within the complex of lines at the south east end of the New North Main Line, a location with low potential for passenger traffic.
The station closed temporarily on 1 February 1915, reopening on 29 March 1920.[2]
The station closed permanently on 30 June 1947[2] without a replacement when the Central line of London Underground was extended from North Acton to West Ruislip alongside the NNML under the 1935-1940 New Works Programme delayed by World War II.
Old Oak Common
As part of the construction for HS2 a station is being constructed named Old Oak Common which will be a major interchange between the North London Line, the West London Line, Watford DC Line, West Coast Main Line and Great Western Main Line.
