Future
Plans are in hand to provide Crossrail services at the station. As part of this proposal, services from the Greenford Branch Line will terminate at West Ealing. Network Rail will create capacity for this by converting the former LCS milk train bay into an extra bay platform.
In addition, various further alterations will be made by Network Rail:
- New station building with a larger ticket hall with level access from Manor Road (to the north of the station)
- Step-free access
- Platforms 3-4 extended to enable 10-car trains to stop
- Improved passenger facilities including increased lighting, a new canopy on platform 4, and information and security systems
