West Acton
LUL 1992 stock with a Central Line train to Ealing Broadway calling at its penultimate stop at West Acton, seen from stairwell to westbound platform, on 9th February 2019. This section of the Central Line was promoted by the GWR as the Ealing & Shepherd's Bush Railway but GWR trains never ran, instead Central Line trains were extended over the line from the 1908 terminus at Wood Lane (replaced by White City in 1947) to Ealing Broadway in 1920. East Acton was originally the only intermediate station but North Acton and West Acton were added in 1923. The branch from North Acton to West Ruislip (originally intended to continue to Denham with an intermediate station at South Harefield), was part of the LPTB's 1935 New Works programme, delayed by World War Two, eventually opened in stages in 1947/48.
