(1908-1947)
Wood Lane station was the western terminus of the Central Line between 1908 and 1920, built to serve the Franco-British Exhibition.
The station originally only consisted of a single looped track, which allowed trains to return eastwards into central London without having to reverse. Two more platforms were added when the line was extended westwards but the working conditions were not ideal and the station was replaced in 1947 by White City station, slightly further up the line.
All of the surface platform remains shown in these photos have been demolished to make way for the Westfield shopping centre; click here for a web site with some of the details."
