歷史

1869年1月1日,倫敦西南鐵路公司(L&SWR)開放了邱園站,當時該站是從里奇蒙站到愛迪生路站(現在倫敦地鐵區域線的肯辛頓站)的線路上的一個車站。[1] 1870年6月1日至1870年10月31日,西部鐵路公司(GWR)曾短暫運營過一條從帕丁頓站至里奇蒙站的線路,該線路經過漢默史密斯及城市鐵路(即現在的漢默史密斯及城市線)的軌道,再轉入西南鐵路公司的軌道並經過邱園站。[2]

On 1 June 1877, the District Railway (DR, now the District line) opened a short extension from its terminus at Hammersmith to connect to the L&SWR tracks east of Template:LUL stations station.[1] The DR then began running trains over the L&SWR tracks to Richmond. On 1 October 1877, the Metropolitan Railway (MR, now the Metropolitan line) restarted the GWR's former service to Richmond via Grove Road station.[2]

The DR's service between Richmond, Hammersmith and central London was more direct than the NLR's route via Template:LUL stations, the L&SWR's or the MR's routes via Grove Road station or the L&SWR's other route from Richmond via Clapham Junction. From 1 January 1894, the GWR began sharing the MR's Richmond service and served Kew Gardens once again,[2] meaning that passengers from Kew Gardens could travel on the services of five operators.

Following the electrification of the DR's own tracks north of Template:LUL stations in 1903, the DR funded the electrification of the tracks through Kew Gardens. The tracks on the Richmond branch were electrified on 1 August 1905.[1] Whilst DR services were operated with electric trains, the L&SWR, NLR, GWR and MR services continued to be steam hauled.

MR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1906 and GWR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1910,[2] leaving operations at Kew Gardens and Gunnersbury to the DR (by then known as the District Railway), the NLR and L&SWR. By 1916, the L&SWR's route through Hammersmith was being out-competed by the District to such a degree that the L&SWR withdrew its service between Richmond and Addison Road on 3 June 1916, leaving the District as the sole operator over that route.[3]
