Turnham Green
LUL 1973 Piccadilly Line stock with a service to Heathrow Terminals 4 and 1, 2 & 3 passing Turnham Green station on 15th November 2012. This station was originally opened by the LSWR in 1869 and first served by District Line trains in 1877 when a connection was established at Hammersmith. LSWR trains ceased in 1916 and it is still possible to see sections of the curved viaduct at Hammersmith, cut into by modern office blocks, that carried LSWR trains from Studland Road Junction (where the District met the LSWR) to a junction with the West London Line north of Kensington Addison Road, now Kensington (Olympia). This had two stations at Hammersmith (Grove Road), on the viaduct, and Shepherd's Bush in a cutting, both now demolished, although the ruins of Shepherd's Bush survived for many years and were not finally swept away until 1956, a full 40 years after closure.
