History

For many years the platform layout had only two platforms with the running lines between them, with passenger access down from the booking hall. Some years ago to improve operational flexibility a third platform was created. The waste railway land to the north of the eastbound platform was cleared of scrub, and a northern platform face created in place of the fence. The eastbound road was diverted to a new stretch of running line at this platform, and the former eastbound platform (and now the middle platform) resignalled so that it can be used as a two-way bay road, in addition to its existing run-through signalling facilities.


These changes provide the ability to run shuttle services to White City, from Ealing Broadway and/or West Ruislip in the event of problems elsewhere on the Central Line. White City tube station is a station of the London Underground on the Central Line, which lies just a short distance north of the disused Wood Lane tube station. ...
