North Ealing Underground Station
North Ealing is an overground station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Ealing . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 3 on Queens Drive. In 2013, 0.86 million passengers used this station. About 500 m further east is the West Acton station of the Central Line on the same street .
The station was opened on June 23, 1903 by the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR; predecessor of today's District Line ), as part of the newly built route between Ealing Common and Park Royal & Twyford Abbey , which was extended to South Harrow five days later . This new line was - together with the existing tracks between Ealing Common and Acton Town - the first electrified underground railway. On July 4, 1932, operations were transferred to the Piccadilly Line.
The two-story station building consists of red bricks and a black slate roof. It is the only one from the time of the north-west expansion of the MDR that has largely been preserved in its original state. Since 2003 the building including the pedestrian bridge has been under monument protection ( Grade II ).
