[edit] History to be researched and added

The disused parts of the station should be mentioned. The present platforms are on the south side of a triangular junction. The following is not precise, just a hint of usage: (1) Before the South Acton to Richmond line was built a service ran to Richmond (possibly even to Kingston) via the east side lines at Kew Bridge and a short-lived curve at Barnes connecting the Hounslow and Richmond lines; the road named Railwayside was built on the west side of the curve, a stump of brickwork remains south of the Hounslow line. (2) Until about 1940 trains from Broad Street on the north London line terminated alternately at Richmond and at the east side of the Kew Bridge triangle. There may even have been platforms on the west side.SilasW 13:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
