North Ealing is aLondon Underground station in westLondon. It is on theUxbridge branch of thePiccadilly line betweenPark Royal andEaling Common stations. The station is located on Station Road, a short distance from the junction of Queen's Drive andHanger Lane (A406, North Circular Road). It is inTravelcard Zone 3.West Acton station on theCentral line is located about 550 metres to the east at the other end of Queen's Drive.
Despite its name, the station is geographically located to the east ofEaling Broadway; the areas of Gurnell,Pitshanger,Montpelier andHanger Hill/Hanger Lane are more geographically suited to the term "North Ealing". There is even a primary school namedNorth Ealing within Pitshanger.
North Ealing station was opened on 23 June 1903 by theDistrict Railway (DR, now theDistrict line) on its new extension from north of Ealing Common toPark Royal & Twyford Abbey (closed and replaced byPark Royal in 1931), where theRoyal Agricultural Society'sPark Royal show grounds had been recently opened. The line was opened fully toSouth Harrow on 28 June 1903.
This new extension was, together with the existing tracks between Ealing Common andActon Town, the first section of the Underground's surface lines to beelectrified and operateelectric instead ofsteam trains. The deep-level tube lines open at that time (City & South London Railway,Waterloo & City Railway andCentral London Railway) had been electrically powered from the start.
North Ealing was the only station on the South Harrow branch not rebuilt in the 1930s to the "Holden" style for the start of the Piccadilly Line service. As a result, it retains its slightly rural air. A 1930s railway sub-station is built alongside the Eastbound platform and is typical of the LPTB brick and concrete architectural style of the period.
On 4 July 1932 the Piccadilly line was extended to run west of its original terminus atHammersmith sharing the route with the District line to Ealing Common. From Ealing Common to South Harrow, the District line was replaced by the Piccadilly line and, from this date, District line trains west from Ealing Common ran to Ealing Broadway only.
In 2018, it was announced that the station would gain step free access by 2022, as part of a £200M investment to increase the number of accessible stations on the Tube.[7]
