Today
Passenger access is down from the booking hall, which is part-way down the southern side of the cutting with two exits up to Victoria Road. This is the last station before the Central line splits into the West Ruislip and Ealing Broadway branches. Approximately half the trains stopping at the station head to each destination. The support centre for Carphone Warehouse, NEC and numerous other companies have offices in the vicinity. There are approximately 600 new flats directly opposite the station which are being populated as of July 2007, and there is a Holiday Inn Express hotel next door to the station with the Ramada Encore hotel another five minutes' walk away. A new Tesco 'Express' store is now open along with a Lebanese restaurant in the opposite block.
