Turnham Green Terrace, LONDON, W4 1LR

Turnham Green station was opened on 1 January 1869 by the London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) on a new branch line to Richmond built from the West London Joint Railway starting north of Addison Road station - now Kensington (Olympia). The line ran through Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith via a now unused curve. The next stop towards Central London was Grove Road station in Hammersmith (also now closed). Today, Turnham Green is the junction for District line services to Richmond and Ealing Broadway. Unusually, it is also served by Piccadilly line trains at the start and finish of the day.

View eastward along the Down island platform, this face being used only by Piccadilly Line trains towards Heathrow or Uxbridge and only early and late in the day. Otherwise District Line trains to Richmond or Ealing Broadway call on the outer face. The view is towards Hammersmith, Central London, East and North London.

View eastward towards Hammersmith on the Up island platform. This face is used only early and late in the day, by Piccadilly Line services (Heathrow/Uxbridge - Piccadilly Circus - Cockfosters), the outer face is used all day by District Line trains (Ealing Broadway/Richmond - Hammersmith - Victoria - Mansion House - Whitechapel - Barking - Upminster).

Opened in 1869 by the London & South Western Railway on the line from Richmond to Hammersmith, the station is now part of the London Underground network. View west towards Chiswick Park and Gunnersbury. Like 55% of the Underground network, this part is actually overground.

View westward on the Up island platform, which is normally used only by Piccadilly Line trains stopping very early or late in the day.

A train of 1973 Tube stock, working a westbound Piccadilly line service to Heathrow Airport (terminal 4 and terminals 1, 2, & 3) passes through Turnham Green station without stopping. Between Barons Court and Acton Town, the Piccadilly line uses the middle pair of four tracks, with the District line using the outer pair. Piccadilly line trains run non stop between Hammersmith and Acton Town, despite at least some stations having platforms they can use, except early in the morning and late in the evening, when they stop additionally at Turnham Green.
