Eastcote was opened in 1906 by the Metropolitan Railway as Eastcote Halt on the line between
Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge which opened two years earlier [1]. The District Railway reached Eastcote in 1910 though in 1933 District Line trains were replaced by the Piccadilly Line. The current station building dates from a Charles Holden design which was built in the late 1930s. The station's goods yard closed in 1964.
As the station is served by two London Underground lines it has a very frequent service in both directions.
