Exterior of North Ealing station on 9th February 2019. This was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway on 23rd June 1903 when trains began running from a connection with the Ealing Broadway line at Hanger Lane Junction as far as Park Royal & Twyford Abbey in connection with that year's Royal Agricultural Show. Five days later trains were extended to South Harrow. North Ealing was the only station on this line not to be rebuilt in Holden style for the takeover by Piccadilly Line tube trains in 1933 and remains today as a pleasant example of a turn-of-the-19th/20th Century District station. (The original Park Royal & Twyford Abbey station was re-sited to the south in 1931 with an entrance on the A40 Western Avenue. The new station was called Park Royal (Hanger Hill) but the suffix was later dropped.)
