Imperial Wharf is a railway station in Fulham, near to the boundary with Chelsea in west London on the West London Line. The station is between and stations and services are provided by London Overground and Southern. The station opened on Sunday 27 September 2009 and is operated by London Overground.〔(Chuffed by new train station ), ''London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham''〕 The station is located in Sands End where the line crosses Townmead Road. It takes its name from the adjacent redevelopment of a brownfield, former industrial, site, which has been developed into a luxury 1,800 apartment river-side complex by property developers St George since 2004. As the Imperial Wharf development continued to grow, so did the business case for the Imperial Wharf station. A further application for 1,500 residential units including a 37 storey tower was submitted to Hammersmith & Fulham Council in early 2009. The station is also adjacent to Chelsea Harbour, and was known by this name during early stages of development; indeed its TIPLOC code is "CseaH" in computerised timetable systems. ==History== There have been calls for over 15 years by residents for a station to be opened at this site, to be funded by Transport for London and the local council. In 2005 the estimated cost was £3 million, of which £1.7 million had already been provided by St George,〔(Imperial Wharf planning report ), paragraph 35〕 the developer of the Imperial Wharf site, leaving a funding shortfall of £1.3 million.〔(Westlondonlinegroup.org.uk - funding shortfall, 13 April 2005 )〕 In October 2007, Hammersmith and Fulham Council announced that St George had agreed to provide another £1.2 million, roughly enough to complete the project. It is also reported that the planning permission for the whole of the Imperial Wharf development was only given on the basis that a station was built. The station secured full funding on 28 April 2008. The station opened on Sunday 27 September 2009, in a ceremony attended by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Imperial Wharf railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
