LUL S7 stock with a District Line train from Richmond two stops into its long journey to Upminster calling at Gunnersbury, originally opened as Brentford Road by the LSWR in 1869 and renamed in 1871. Nowadays, the rebuilt station is hemmed in by ghastly concrete car parks and a dreadful muti-storey office block but back in December 1954 the roof of the original station was torn down during a freak tornado, resulting in six people being injured. This station is also served by London Overground trains between Richmond and Stratford and vice versa.
