IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Haymill Close, GREENFORD, UB6 8HL

The Greenford branch of the Great Western Railway had been used for regular passenger services since 1904, but the halt at South Greenford did not open until 20th September 1926. It was originally named South Greenford Halt but, like Castle Bar Park Halt to the south, the suffix was dropped on 5th May 1969. At present, signage on the station carries an alternative name for the station - "West Perivale". There are no buildings at the station and each platform is reached by a long ramp up from the A40 (Western Avenue). This view looks from the down platform up the line in the direction of Castle Bar Park station. It can be seen how straight the line is.

Through this archway, but buried in the ground, are two large water mains which round the north-west of London between Hampstead and Hampton Wick (the water flow can be either way).

Curiously on the same station signs it's also called in smaller letters 'West Perivale'. This is the length of the platforms, with the one on the right made from wood and the left appears to be concrete, the line from Greenford to West Ealing is closed on Sundays.

Close to Medway Parade.

Opened in 1926 by the Great Western Railway on its line from West Ealing to Greenford. View north towards Greenford.

The railway line is the short branch line from Greenford to West Ealing, with trains continuing via Ealing Broadway and Acton Main Line to Paddington. The road goes through the bridge to the car park of Perivale Park with its golf course and athletics track. The footpath to the left goes to the Gurnell swimming pool and to the Brent River path.
