History

Brentford railway station was opened in 1849 by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) in a period of mainly passenger use – an unlinked perpendicular line, the Brentford Dock line operated between 1859 and 1964, mainly for goods and waste transfer. The Dock Line between 1860 and 1942 ran a passenger service into passenger terminus Brentford (GWR) railway station.^[2]

Between 1950 and 1980 Brentford station was named Brentford Central station. When multi-national pharmaceutical and retail company Glaxo Smith Kline opened its Global HQ 500 metres west, GSK House in 2001 after two years of construction,^[3] it contributed towards modernisation of the station.
