Viewed looking from the York Road bridge, the station was opened in 1938 when the former terminus off Belmont Road was closed. Both Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line trains operate from here.

This is the York Road frontage of the UK Head Office building of Unisys http://www.unisys.co.uk/index.htm although the company's address is Bakers Court in Bakers Road which is on the opposite side of the block from this viewpoint. As the general ground level drops away to the left there is a lower floor to this building which is used as the Uxbridge Bus Garage with an opening out onto Bakers Road. The low wall on the left is the parapet of the bridge over the London Underground lines into Uxbridge station.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A 1976 view of buses between duties next to Uxbridge Station. Vehicles are, on the 98 route an AEC Swift and on the 223 an AEC Regal IV. The Regal, class RF in London Transport terms, was a very successful design entering service in 1951 and remaining in use for up to 30 years - a large number of these vehicles are preserved. The AEC Swift was less successful, entering service in 1970. Many were withdrawn as their major overhauls became due in the late 1970's. This Swift, SMS685, with withdrawn in 1978 whilst RF627 went in 1977 - 8 years of service and 26 years of service respectively.

Dist:0.1km<br/>As it was in 1979 before the addition of a modern office block. Common London bus types of the time include a Daimler Fleetline on the 207 route and AEC Swifts on the 204. Behind is the garage area where buses not in service were parked - at least one, with the engine cover open, was being cannibalised for spares. There is also a London Country AEC Swift, adding a touch of green to the scene.
