Turnham Green station was opened in 1869 by the London and South Western Railway on a new branch line to Richmond. From 1877 the Metropolitan District Railway ran trains through Turnham Green and from 1932 Piccadilly line trains ran through Turnham Green but without stopping. The centre tracks in the photograph are for Piccadilly line trains, which only stop at the station in the early morning or late evening. A Piccadilly line train on its way to Acton Town station can be seen. The District line tracks are to the left and right.
