邱園站條目的歷史部分：

歷史

1869年1月1日，倫敦西南鐵路公司(L&SWR)開放了邱園站，當時該站是從里奇蒙站到愛迪生路站（現在倫敦地鐵區域線的肯辛頓站）的線路上的一個車站。 1870年6月1日至1870年10月31日，西部鐵路公司（GWR）曾短暫運營過一條從帕丁頓站至里奇蒙站的線路，該線路經過漢默史密斯及城市鐵路（即現在的漢默史密斯及城市線)的軌道，再轉入西南鐵路公司的軌道並經過邱園站。

On 1 June 1877, the District Railway (DR, now the District line) opened a short extension from its terminus at Hammersmith to connect to the L&SWR tracks east of Template:LUL stations station. The DR then began running trains over the L&SWR tracks to Richmond. On 1 October 1877, the Metropolitan Railway (MR, now the Metropolitan line) restarted the GWR's former service to Richmond via Grove Road station.

The DR's service between Richmond, Hammersmith and central London was more direct than the NLR's route via Template:LUL stations, the L&SWR's or the MR's routes via Grove Road station or the L&SWR's other route from Richmond via Clapham Junction. From 1 January 1894, the GWR began sharing the MR's Richmond service and served Kew Gardens once again, meaning that passengers from Kew Gardens could travel on the services of five operators.

Following the electrification of the DR's own tracks north of Template:LUL stations in 1903, the DR funded the electrification of the tracks through Kew Gardens. The tracks on the Richmond branch were electrified on 1 August 1905. Whilst DR services were operated with electric trains, the L&SWR, NLR, GWR and MR services continued to be steam hauled.

MR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1906 and GWR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1910, leaving operations at Kew Gardens and Gunnersbury to the DR (by then known as the District Railway), the NLR and L&SWR. By 1916, the L&SWR's route through Hammersmith was being out-competed by the District to such a degree that the L&SWR withdrew its service between Richmond and Addison Road on 3 June 1916, leaving the District as the sole operator over that route.
