West Brompton is a Tube and National Rail station on the District line and West London Line (WLL) in west London, on Old Brompton Road (A3218) immediately south of the demolished Earls Court Exhibition Centre and west of Brompton Cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The station is on the {{LUL stations|station=Wimbledon}} branch of the District line between {{LUL stations|station=Earl's Court}} and {{LUL stations|station=Fulham Broadway}} stations. On the WLL, National Rail services are provided by Southern and London Overground, in between {{LUL stations|station=Kensington (Olympia)}} and {{Stnlnk|Imperial Wharf}} stations. The station's location on the WLL forms a borough boundary and its tracks are shared between Kensington & Chelsea and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Since 2000 it has been a Grade II (starting category) Listed Building.[3] HistoryThe West London Extension Joint Railway (WLEJR) was opened in the early 1860s. It joined the southern end of the West London Joint Railway at Kensington (Olympia) station with Clapham Junction station and ran through West Brompton although a station was not opened until 1866.[4] The original station was designed by the chief engineer of the Metropolitan and District Railway, Sir John Fowler[5] and thus has local railway associations that go back to 1838.[6] The current Lillie (road) bridge dates from 1860 and is the work of Fowler.[7] The soon to disappear Lillie Bridge Railway and Engineering Depot, opened in 1872, is close by. Other historic associations are with the Lillie Bridge Grounds, a noted 19th c. athletics, cricket, ballooning and cycling venue adjacent to the West of the station and Brompton Cemetery adjacent to the East. From 1887, the station gave access to John Robinson Whitley's Earl's Court exhibition grounds and from 1937 to 2014 it was the alternative access to Earl's Court exhibition centre, now demolished. On 12 April 1869, the District Railway (DR, now the District line) opened its own station adjacent to the WLEJR station as the terminus and only station on its extension from {{LUL stations|station=Gloucester Road}} station (Earl's Court station did not open until 1871). The original plan was to connect the DR to the WLEJR but this did not take place. On 1 March 1880, the DR opened an extension south from West Brompton to {{LUL stations|station=Putney Bridge}}. In 1940, during World War II, several WLL stations sustained bomb damage. Passenger services on the WLL between {{LUL stations|station=Willesden Junction}} and {{Stnlnk|Clapham Junction}} were withdrawn on 21 October 1940. The Underground station remained in use and the WLL continued in use for freight traffic. The WLL station buildings and platforms were subsequently demolished. Full passenger services resumed on the WLL in 1994, but it was not until 1 June 1999 that new Network Rail platforms were opened at West Brompton by the then Minister of Transport, Glenda Jackson. There is a commemorative plaque to this effect on the Western lift tower. The station design was by Robinson Kenning and Gallagher of Croydon.[8][9] The lift tower design is an echo of the decorative brickwork by the 19th c. City of London architect and surveyor, John Young designer of the nearby Empress Place and Lillie Road terrace in Fulham.[10] The works were funded by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham on whose border the station lies. The WLL platforms do not have a separate entrance and access is from the Underground station. The District line serves platforms 1 and 2 and the WLL serves platforms 3 and 4. There is a fence between platforms 2 and 3, but they are on the same level and it is possible to pass directly between them. There are lifts to both overground platforms for wheelchair access, and this means there is also step-free access to the eastbound District line platform, but not the westbound one. The station is in a cutting that is covered at one end. ServicesTypical off-peak services per hour: London Underground District line[11]
Additional District line services operate at peak times, with many trains continuing to {{LUL stations|station=Barking}}, {{LUL stations|station=Dagenham East}} or {{LUL stations|station=Upminster}}, while all 4 London Overground services per hour continue to {{LUL stations|station=Stratford}}. Some additional Southern services also operate between Shepherd's Bush and Clapham Junction. Late evening London Overground services only run between {{LUL stations|station=Willesden Junction}} and Clapham Junction. On Sundays, Southern services only run between Watford Junction and Clapham Junction.[12] Image gallery{{Commons category|West Brompton station}}References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2006/december/safety-boost-as-london-underground-to-take-control-of-11-silverlink-stations| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213023532/http://www.tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2006/december/safety-boost-as-london-underground-to-take-control-of-11-silverlink-stations| archivedate=13 December 2014| title=Safety boost as London Underground to take control of 11 Silverlink stations | publisher=Transport for London| date=5 December 2006| accessdate=19 February 2015}} 2. ^{{citation step free tube map}} 3. ^{{NHLE|num=1385365 |desc=|accessdate=9 October 2015}} 4. ^'The Kensington Canal, railways and related developments', in Survey of London: Volume 42, Kensington Square To Earl's Court, ed.
