If you commute regularly on the London underground, you may be surprised to learn of a secret unused station in Hounslow.

What is now a bus garage serving 12 major bus routes used to be a underground station called Hounslow Town station carrying passengers as early as 1881.

The station had two platforms and a signal box but because Hounslow Town was a branch line off the main line its potential was always short lived. 

As traffic on the mainline began to take off the use of the station downgraded and eventually closed to become Hounslow Garage.
