Opening date?[edit]

The article has 1871. Elsewhere on the web 1844 and 1840 are given. Needs investigation.--SilasW (talk) 15:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since writing that I've found a copy of the 1981 reprint of "The West London Railway and the W.L.E.R." by H.V.Borley & R.W.Kidner, The Oakwood Press, ISBN 0 85361 174 2 which gives 1 Aug 1871 as date of opening and 1 November 1893 for resiting "four chains" (80 m) north. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SilasW (talk • contribs) 21:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Location[edit]

Was it indeed in Kensal Green, as recently edited by an IP, or was it in North Kensington? --TBM10 (talk) 20:32, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. Kensal Green is on the border of the London Borough of Brent and the LB of Kensington and Chelsea; North Kensington is entirely within Kensington and Chelsea. However, the station site lies within the present-day London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. I'd say that either Wormwood Scrubs or Shepherd's Bush were better descriptions of the locality than Kensal Green. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:45, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Current collection change-over[edit]

"Most electric trains on the present-day West London Line stop near the site of the former station to change current collection method"

How do the few that don't stop deal with the change-over? Do they simply coast for a while? If so, why do some stop at all? 87.75.117.183 (talk) 10:14, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
