The station was to have been built on the CLR's planned underground extension from
Shepherd's Bush to
Gunnersbury proposed to parliament in November 1912. The extension was to continue on the
London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) surface tracks to
Richmond already used by the
District Railway (DR). The station would have been between
Emlyn Road to the west and
Paddenswick Road to the east. The CLR received permission for the extension on 1913 in the
Central London Railway Act, 1913. World War I prevented the works from commencing and the permission expired. In 1919, the CLR revived the plan for an extension to Richmond using a different route via the existing L&SWR/DR tracks to the south. Parliamentary approval for the new route was received in 1920, but again the works were not carried out. ==Notes==
