The Station Today
Not all Chiltern trains stop at all stations. Travellers are recommended to consult a timetable before travelling.
Ticket Barriers control access to all platforms.
A large West London Waste Authority bulk rubbish handling depot lies to the east of the station which sees a daily waste train in operation. There is also a single line connection with the line to/from Paddington;
The lines to Marylebone presently pass either side of West Waste. Part of Evergreen 3 will see Northolt Junction remodelled which will include the installation of a new Down Main track alongside the existing Up Main to the north of the waste transfer depot that will allow Chiltern services to be accelerated. The existing Down Main will become the Down Loop line that will continue to be used for down trains stopping at South Ruislip station. The new Down Main will have a line speed limit of 100 mph compared with the existing 60 mph.
