Bombardier Aventra EMU 345013, arriving at West Ealing on a working to Paddington, on 9th February 2019. On the right is the new bay platform for the Greenford branch service which has been truncated from Paddington to just shuttle to and from here and no longer serving Ealing Broadway, the hub of this west London suburb, where most local people, I suspect, want to get to. This has thrown more traffic onto already overcrowded local bus services while the Greenford shuttle now runs almost empty; when I travelled on it on this day, I was the only passenger with the intermediate stations at Drayton Green, Castle Bar Park and South Greenford totally deserted.
