In recent thread, there is a reference to the 1941 tube map at

Uxbridge Road. Addison Road is now known as Kensington Olympia.
Uxbridge Road has gone. When and why? Between 1946 and 1949
according to

can find no relevant words in Clive Feather's wonderful work at

There is a map here, which may explain the situation

That's a good map. The link from the West London Line to Latimer Road was
destroyed by bombing in 1940, and was never reopened. I note that Uxbridge
Road was closed at the same time, presumably because the only service it had
was via Latimer Road. (Services to Willesden Junction had ceased in 1939 at
the start of WW2.) The tube map continued to show the Latimer Road
connection until (I think) 1947, when the 'temporary' closure became
permanent.
