邱园站条目的历史部分：

历史

1869年1月1日，伦敦西南铁路公司(L&SWR)开放了邱园站，当时该站是从里奇蒙站到爱迪生路站（现在伦敦地铁区域线的肯辛顿站）的线路上的一个车站。 1870年6月1日至1870年10月31日，西部铁路公司（GWR）曾短暂运营过一条从帕丁顿站至里奇蒙站的线路，该线路经过汉默史密斯及城市铁路（即现在的汉默史密斯及城市线)的轨道，再转入西南铁路公司的轨道并经过邱园站。

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MR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1906 and GWR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1910, leaving operations at Kew Gardens and Gunnersbury to the DR (by then known as the District Railway), the NLR and L&SWR.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.
