Trumpers Crossing Halte was a station of scant construction on the
.History
It was opened on 2 May 1904Brentford GWR stations. At this time, the GWR favoured the French spelling of "Halte" for such stations, because the English word "Halt" had an inappropriate meaning.[4]
The halt closed on 22 March 1915[1] as a wartime economy measure,[5] re-opened on 12 April 1920[1] and closed permanently on 1 February 1926.[1][6] Before closing for good, the words "for South Hanwell and Osterley Park" were appended.
Materials from the redundant platforms were used six months later to construct South Greenford,[6] which opened on 20 September 1926.[7]
