A couple of questions:
First, were there ever any scheduled Met services from the Latimer Road spur through Uxbridge Road station into Kensington Addison Road (as Olympia was)? Were there advertised connections/services from Kensington AR to the Met & destinations thereon, such as Baker Street?
Second, regarding Hammersmith Grove Road, did anything that could be deemed a Tube/Underground service pass through this station, or even serve it, prior to its' closure back in 1916? I believe it was LSWR-owned & there was an agenda to electrify it, but that was never even started, so would be intrigued to know why this has always been treated as a lost Tube station?
Thanks in advance!

According to CULG, the Met ran to Richmond via Grove Road until 1906 (with GWR continuing for a few more years) and to Addison Road via Westbourne Park until bomb damage closed the route in 1940 (the line having been electrified in 1909)

The Richmond Met service certainly ran via Grove Road; but did it call there? Anybody got a timetable?

Yes, I posted a copy of it on the Hammersmith Palais Old Skool Facebook group a while ago after someone posted a photo of the Uxbridge Road station that is now the one with the awful shopping centre next to it.
