Plan
Route of the CLR extension planned in 1913

The station was to have been built on the CLR's planned underground extension from Shepherd's Bush to Gunnersbury proposed to parliament in November 1912.[1] The extension was to continue on the London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) surface tracks to Richmond already used by the District Railway (DR). The station would have been between Turnham Green to the west and Rylett Road to the east.[2]

The CLR received permission for the extension on 15 August 1913 in the Central London Railway Act, 1913.[3]

World War I prevented the works from commencing and the permission expired. In 1919, the CLR revived the plan for an extension to Richmond using a different route via the existing L&SWR/DR tracks to the south. Parliamentary approval for the new route was received in 1920, but again the works were not carried out.[2]

gollark: I meant that more than 10% of people who are *ever* users for a significant amount of time probably use CC.
gollark: Although it might not be an issue with that as much as just network effects.
gollark: I would like to run a mildly-more-than-CC server, but we've seen from CN that people appear to get bored of that faster somehow.
gollark: 10%? I'm sure it's higher on SC. Unless you count really inactive ones.
gollark: Staff Discord? Of course there's a staff Discord.
