There are many stations on the network that have either been in use, and are no longer at all, some have been demolished and rebuilt and some have been repurposed and some have just been left abandoned.
There are also some stations that are still in use which have been redeveloped over the years, and now have disused platforms and tunnels.
Some stations have been relocated to a slightly different location/position, to allow for more passenger capacity and for roads to be built. Quite often if you know what you are looking for, you can see evidence of where tracks and platforms have been previously. .
​
There is a list full list of abandoned/disused stations and platforms can be found here.
Some of the abandoned stations that have buildings left are also now listed buildings.
​
The London Transport Museum does offer tours of some of them, which can be booked through their website and they have produced a series of YouTube videos which have been listed on the YouTube section of this website here.

Below is a summary of the stations that are listed on Wikipedia. If you would like to know more about each station, just click on the blue button and that will take you to the Wikipedia page for that particular station. Some of the stations listed on the Wikipedia list have not been included on this list because they are stations that were once only served by one or more of the underground lines (Bakerloo, District, Metropolitan) and are still in use, but operated by other companies. Where possible these details have been included in the individual station information on the Stations A to W pages.

On the Cartomap, there are 3 stations labelled as "Shepherd's Bush"
1 - Opened 1864 and closed 1st November 1869 and is labelled as "Hammersmith & City Kensington Branch" on the map. There is not a lot of information available about this station, but from this website, it looks like it was just a halt and was replaced with Uxbridge Road (also known as Shepherd's Bush), which was later demolished and is now the existing Shepherd's Bush Overground station.
​
2- This one was located on what is now the Hammersmith & City line (shown here) and was between Goldhawk Road and Shepherd's Bush Market (which has also been know as "Shepherd's Bush" and was opened from 13th June 1864 to 31st March 1914, this was closed to allow for the stations either side to be built.
​
3 - This one opened 1st May 1874 and closed 5th June 1916 and was located between Hammersmith (Grove Road) station and what is now Kensington (Olympia). This line was removed and the area was redeveloped. The spur for this line can still be seen on the left side of the tracks as you travel from Ravenscourt Park to Hammersmith on the District/Piccadilly lines and the other end is no longer visible.
