West Ealing station

Crossrail, together with Network Rail and Transport for London (TfL), are working on West Ealing station to prepare for the start of the Elizabeth line services.

West Ealing station will benefit from major improvements in preparation for the new Elizabeth line services including a new station entrance and façade, and a new, bright, spacious ticket hall will be constructed as part of the overhaul of the station. The glass and steel structure will let in natural light and will be surrounded by a large canopy. Contracts were awarded in May 2019.
