Does any trace remain of the Shepherds Bush station on the old
Addison Road - Hammersmith Grove Road - Richmond route?


It depends on what you count. The bridge parapet on the West side of
Shepherd's Bush Road is still there but I think the station site was
obliterated by garages years ago. It's reasonably clear in the aerial
photo on Windows Live Local (

Practically everything along this railway curve has been built over; the
only physical evidence of its existence now are the alignments of the
adjacent roads and the bridge humps in the roads crossing it (Shepherd's
Bush Road, Rockley Road and Richmond Way). The sort of buildings sitting
on the alignment also provide a clue, as they are large blocks
somewhat out of character with adjacent buildings.
