St. Quintin Park and Wormwood Scrubs railway station

St. Quintin Park and Wormwood Scrubs, sometimes known simply as Wormwood Scrubs, was a station situated in North Pole Road, North Kensington on the West London Line. The station was constructed largely of wood, and was damaged by bombs in 1940, and closed thereafter. [ [http://www.loveplums.co.uk/Tube/West_London_Line.html West London Line ] ]

There has been recent talk of re-opening a station in the vicinity to serve the North Kensington area, tied in with the redevelopment and rebranding of the West London Line.Fact|date=July 2008 Two other stations are being opened on the line at Shepherd's Bush and Imperial Wharf, in Chelsea and the service frequency of trains will be increased.

Possible future names for a re-activated station are Wormwood Scrubs and North Kensington.
