and Uxbridge. The line branched from G.W main line at west Drayton and ran
two miles north to Uxbridge Vine Street.
History
Construction of the single track broad gauge line began in 1854,
and it opened to passengers in 1856. The track was relayed as
standard gauge in 1871 and doubled in 1880. The one intermediate
station at Cowley opened in 1904. The line was closed to passengers
in 1962 and to freight in 1964,and the track was lifted except for a
short stretch to the Middlesex oil works, which stayed open until 1979
And the section for freight access to the truncated Staines and
west Drayton railway. The stretch of land alongside Brunel university were

as it was at the time £65.000.
Otherwise a short piece of track at Cowley is one of the few remaining
traces of the railway.
