Bath Road Halt was a short-lived railway station in London on the Hammersmith & Chiswick branch line from South Acton to Hammersmith & Chiswick. The station was opened by the North & South Western Junction Railway in 1909 as an attempt to gain passenger numbers since the opening of the District Line. [1] [2]

The platforms were constructed out of timber as the stations were a later addition to the line. The location of the station was beside a signal box which had been added to the line as it was being constructed.

After the station was closed, the line continued to be used until the 60's as a goods traffic line. Nothing is left of the platforms or signal box. A house now stands on the sight.
