Brentford, in 1950 renamed Brentford Central, and Kew Bridge stations opened in 1849 on the London and South Western Railway's loop line through Chiswick to Hounslow, so connecting Brentford with Waterloo. The line was joined near Kew Bridge in 1853 by the North and South-Western Junction Railway Company's line from Acton, itself connected to Kew Bridge station in 1862. Beyond the town the line to Hounslow was crossed by the Great Western and Brentford Railway Company's single track branch from Southall past Brentford goods yard, in Isleworth parish, to Brentford dock. Opened for freight in 1859 and for passengers to Brentford End in 1860, the branch was acquired by the Great Western Railway, which had leased it, in 1872 and was converted to a double track in 1876. It closed in 1964, passenger services having ceased in 1942, whereupon the tracks south of the goods yard were lifted and the railway bridge beyond the western end of Brentford High Street was demolished.
