A junction was formed from the GCR tracks at Greatmoor a little to the east of Grendon Underwood and the link to Princes Risborough completed.
The two former GWR main lines from London Paddington: the Great Western Main Line (GWML) of 1838-1841 to Bristol Temple Meads railway station (passing through Slough, Reading and Swindon), and the 1903 New North Main Line (NNML) via Greenford to Northolt Junction, which is the start of the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway line, split at Old Oak junction.
The tracks through the station were laid by part of the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway with services starting on 2 April 1906 although there was no station at Ruislip Gardens at that time.
The GWR/GCR Joint line to High Wycombe carried services from both Paddington and Marylebone.
The station was opened on 2 April 1906 as Ruislip & Ickenham by the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway (GW&GCJR).
