    Shepherd's Bush station is a railway station located in the district of Shepherd's Bush in west London, England, UK. It opened in 2008 on the West London Line and is served by London Overground and Southern rail services. It lies within Travelcard Zone 2.

    A number of stations in the area both past and present have borne the name Shepherd's Bush; today the National Rail station shares its name with the adjacent Central Line Shepherd's Bush, with which it shares a surface-level interchange.

    An entirely separate London Underground station, Shepherd's Bush Market on the Hammersmith & City Line is located approximately Template:Convert/mi away. Until 2008, it too was called Shepherd's Bush until it was renamed Shepherd's Bush Market to avoid confusion.[4]

    Original Silverlink signage installed in 2007.

    Previously a station existed almost on the same site as the present Shepherd's Bush station. Uxbridge Road station was opened in 1869 by London & North Western Railway and the Great Western Railway on the Middle Circle route. In 1905 the line became branch of the Metropolitan Railway, and later London Underground's Metropolitan line. Uxbridge Road was closed in 1940 after line was bombed several times during the Blitz.

    In 2005, construction began on a major redevelopment project in the White City area, including the large-scale Westfield Shopping Centre, developed by the Westfield Group.[5] Shepherd's Bush station was designed and funded by the Westfield Group as part of a Section 106 redevelopment contribution, and construction was project-managed by Capita Symonds; this project also included the provision of an integrated bus interchange and the reconstruction of the London Underground Central Line station.

    Building work on the West London Line station began in early 2006 and it was due to open in summer 2007.[6] Although largely completed on time, the station was unable to open due to the northbound platform being Template:Convert/in too narrow to comply with railway safety regulations, based on the anticipated number of passengers using the station.[7] Following remedial reconstruction work on the platform, the station finally opened on 28 September 2008.[8]

    The three-letter station code SPB and location code 9587 appear on ticketing systems, and train times for the station began appearing on timetables from May 2007.[9]

    With a 2007 opening date in mind, the station was to have been served by Silverlink trains, and it was fitted out with Silverlink-branded signage. By the time the station actually opened to passenger service, the rail franchise had passed to London Overground, and the station signage was rebranded.
