UK: Acton Main Line station to undergo major improvements

05-actonActon Main Line is set to get a new bright, modern station building, following Ealing Council’s approval of designs that were submitted in March.
The transformation of the station will be carried out by Network Rail as part of the Crossrail project in preparation for the arrival of Elizabeth line services.
A range of other major improvements will be made to the station, including new lifts to provide step-free access to both platforms; platform extensions to accommodate the new 200 metre long trains; a new platform canopy, lighting, customer information screens, station signage, help points and CCTV.
From the end of 2017 the station will be run by Transport for London as part of London’s integrated transport network.
When the new railway fully opens in 2019, four Elizabeth line services an hour in each direction will serve Acton Main Line station, allowing passengers to travel right through central London without having to change trains.
