EXTRA INFO

PHOTO EALING BROADWAY STATION (GWR AND ELIZABETH DISTRICT AND CENTRAL LINES) 6 APRIL 2023. THE GWR OPENED ITS FIRST STATION HERE IN DECEMBER 1838. IN JULY 1879 THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT RAILWAY (USUALLY SHORTENED TO DISTRICT RAILWAY - DR) OPENED A BRANCH FROM TURNHAM GREEN ON ITS RICHMOND LINE TO EALING BROADWAY WHERE THEIR STATION WAS BUILT ALMOST ADJACENT TO BUT SEPARATE FROM THE GWR MAIN LINE STATION. IN 1911 THE DR REPLACED THEIR STATION BUILDING BY A NEW ONE DESIGNED BY THEIR RESIDENT ARCHITECT HARRY WHARTON FORD IN CLASSICAL STYLE. IN 1920 THE CENTRAL LONDON RAILWAY BY THEN PART OF THE SAME UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC RAILWAYS OF LONDON GROUP AS THE DR ALSO REACHED EALING BROADWAY SQUEEZING IN A COUPLE OF PLATFORMS BETWEEN THE MDR AND GWR ONES EFFECTIVELY LINKING ALL THREE STATIONS ALTHOUGH SOMEWHAT SURPRISINGLY THE CLR USED THE GWR STATION BUILDING/TICKET HALL RATHER THAN THE DISTRICT\'S. IN 1961-65 BR(WR) DEMOLISHED THE OLD GWR STATION BUILDING AND BUILT A NEW ONE WHICH ALSO SERVED BOTH UNDERGROUND SERVICES ALTHOUGH THE DRS STATION REMAINED IN EXISTENCE BUT IN RETAIL USE. AS PART OF THE CROSSRAIL PROJECT ANOTHER NEW STATION WAS OPENED IN MAY IN 2022 TO REPLACE THE 1965 STATION (WHICH WAS DEMOLISHED) TO SERVE THE NEW ELIZABETH LINE (THE REBRANDED CROSSRAIL) THE GWR SERVICES AND THE UNDERGROUND\'S DISTRICT LINE AND THE CENTRAL LINE. PICTURED WITHIN THE PART OF THE DISTRICT\'S STATION WITH THE OVERALL ROOF IS A C.1922 SOLID DISC STATION NAME ROUNDEL USED BY THE UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC RAILWAYS OF LONDON FOR ITS RAILWAYS. THE STATION HAS FOUR SUCH ROUNDELS THREE OF WHICH ARE REPLICAS. I DON\'T KNOW WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL BUT THIS LOOKED SLIGHTY SCRUFIER THAN HE EST SO I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THIS ONE!
