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

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“What a prodigious growth this English race, especially the American branch of it, is having! How soon will it subdue and occupy all the wild parts of this continent and of the islands adjacent. No prophecy, however seemingly extravagant, as to future achievements in this way [is] likely to equal the reality.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I would sell my life to avoid
the pain that begins in the crib
with its bars or perhaps
with your first breath
when the planets drill
your future into you....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“To pin your hopes upon the future is to consign those hopes to a hypothesis, which is to say, a nothingness. Here and now is what we must contend with.”
