A tunnel under the embankment that once carried the branch line from the Chiltern line near Denham to Uxbridge High Street Station. The line closed to passengers in 1936 and lingered on until full closure in 1964. The intention was to link the line to Uxbridge Vine Street Station and on to West Drayton and a viaduct over the High Street was partially built. But this never happened and both branch lines have been completely removed.
