S7 stock on a District Line train calling at Turnham Green, a few minutes into its long journey from Ealing Broadway to Upminster, looking back west, on 9th February 2019. This station was opened by the LSWR in 1869; in 1877 the District made a connection with this line at Studland Road Junction, just west of Hammersmith, allowing District trains, with the aid of running rights, to be extended over the LSWR to Richmond. With these running rights, the District opened its own freehold branch from Turnham Green to Ealing Broadway in 1879. LSWR trains ceased in 1916 and it is still possible to see bits of the curved LSWR viaduct at Hammersmith, cut into by modern office blocks.
