Kew Bridge railway station is a railway station in Brentford and Gunnersbury, in the London Borough of Hounslow, and is in Travelcard Zone 3. The station and all trains serving it are operated by South Western Railway. The station was named after the nearby Kew Bridge. HistoryThe station was opened in 1849 by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR). The starting category (Grade II) listed large station building, designed by Sir William Tite,[1] is now a coffee shop.[1] The North & South Western Junction Railway in a spirit of affording LSWR access to Fenchurch Street operated its admittedly rival 'Kew' station (1853-1866) on the western curve. From 1862 the companies cooperated: the junction railway company building additional Kew Bridge platforms (closed 1940), the LSWR having constructed the eastern curve itself. PresentThe station, on the Hounslow Loop Line, is on the southern and eastern curves of the Kew Bridge railway triangle, although the eastern curve platforms are abandoned. The station building was extensively refurbished in June 2013, with the platforms reached by a side walkway. The station has 2 active platforms and 2 disused platforms:
There are currently no passenger services on the eastern and western curves,[2][3] but both have been proposed by the London Borough of Hounslow for Crossrail and also for Zone 3 Overground Orbirail.[4] The football stadium redevelopment plan includes space for additional platforms on the other curves. Local attractionsBritain's largest foldable cycle manufacturer, Brompton Bicycle, is based behind the station, along the northeast edge of the railway triangle. Nearby attractions include the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the London Museum of Water & Steam and the Musical Museum, Brentford. ProposalsHounslow Council proposed that Crossrail services from the east have the option of terminating at Hounslow as well as Reading by a mix of existing line and new connections.[5] This proposal was rejected. Other plans have been drafted and floated to Network Rail for reinstatement of track on the curves and direct services for Brentford Football Club's development of its Lionel Road stadium.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}} Gallery{{Gallery|align=center |File:KWB_FB.jpg |alt1=A canopied footbridge.
