Uxbridge's first tube station, opened in 1904 by the Harrow and Uxbridge Railway, primarily served steam trains. It was relatively small and included cargo facilities, which became inadequate as demand grew. By the 1910s, the District line extended to Uxbridge, leading to the convenience issues of shared platforms. To address this, a new station on the High Street was developed, enabling better passenger access and competition against rival railways. The original station closed in 1938, paving the way for a design by Charles Holden, enhancing the town’s public transport.
The new station was designed by Charles Holden and was strategically moved to Uxbridge's High Street to enhance accessibility and compete with rival railways.
The original Uxbridge tube station was a modest structure built in 1904, primarily serving as a small part of a larger railway cargo facility.
