Histoire modifier

Le Great Western Railway (GWR) a ouvert opened its pioneering broad gauge tracks through Ealing Broadway entre Paddington et Taplow le , bien que la gare d'Ealing Broadway n'ait été ouverte que le 1er décembre suivant. As the only station in the area when it opened, it was initially named 'Ealing', and changed its name later.[1]

[[Metropolitan District Railway]] (MDR, now the District Line) services commenced on 1 July 1879, when the MDR opened a new branch from {{LUL stations|station=Turnham Green}} on its {{LUL stations|station=Richmond}} line. The MDR built its own three-platform station to the north of the GWR one, although following the installation of a connection between the two railways to the east of the stations, MDR trains also served the GWR station from 1 March 1883, on a short-lived service running to {{stnlnk|Windsor and Eton Central}} station, which was withdrawn as unremunerative on 30 September 1885.<ref name=Connor1993>{{cite book |last=Connor |first=Piers |title=Going Green: The Story of the District Line |year=1993 |publisher=Capital Transport |location=Harrow Weald |isbn=1 85414 157 0 |pages=14, 16 |chapter=The District Looks West }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Day |first=John R. |title=The Story of London's Underground |edition=1st |year=1963 |publisher=[[London Transport Board|London Transport]] |location=Westminster |pages=24–25 |chapter=The Metropolitan District and the Inner Circle }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Demuth |first=Tim |title=The Spread of London's Underground |edition=2nd |year=2004 |publisher=Capital Transport |location=Harrow |isbn=1 85414 277 1 |pages=8–9 |chapter=1881-1890 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Rose |first=Douglas |title=The London Underground: A Diagrammatic History |edition=8th |year=2007 |month=December |origyear=1980 |publisher=Capital Transport |location=Harrow Weald |isbn=978 1 85414 315 0 }}</ref> It was also intended to use the connection for a service to {{stnlnk|Uxbridge Vine Street}} station (via {{stnlnk|West Drayton}}), which was never introduced.<ref name=Connor1993 />

Following [[electrification]] of the main District line route through {{LUL stations|station=Ealing Common}} to {{LUL stations|station=South Harrow}} in 1903, the section to Ealing Broadway was electrified in 1905, and the first [[electric locomotive|electric]] trains ran to Ealing Broadway on 1 July 1905. The original brick-built MDR station was replaced with a stone-faced building sometime between 1907 and 1916.

Prior to [[World War I]], plans were made by the GWR to construct a new, mainly-freight line between [[Ealing]] and [[Shepherd's Bush]], to connect west-to-south with the [[West London Line|West London Railway]]. The [[Central London Railway]] (CLR, now the Central Line) would use the line by extending its tracks the short distance north from its terminus at [[Wood Lane (Central Line) tube station|Wood Lane]] (now closed), to meet the new GWR tracks. CLR services to two new platforms at Ealing Broadway, built between the GWR and MDR stations, started on 3 August 1920, with, initially, just one intermediate stop at {{LUL stations|station=East Acton}}. The line also carried GWR steam freight trains until 1938, when the links at Ealing Broadway and west of {{LUL stations|station=North Acton}} were removed, and the line was fully transferred to London Underground.

Originally separate companies, by 1920 the MDR (by now known as the District Railway) and the CLR were both owned by the [[Underground Electric Railways Company of London]] (LER). Despite this, the CLR services operated via the GWR station building, not the Underground one.

The GWR-built station was demolished in the 1970s and replaced by a low concrete structure containing shops and a ticket hall, with a high-rise office building above. The new station building served all the lines, and the separate District Line station ticket hall was closed, although the building remains, and the original station entrance is now a shop.

On 8 June 2006, a 14-year old boy was killed whilst trespassing on the District line railway track at Platform 9.</s>

Les voies 1 et 3 servent pour les trains venant de Londres, alors que les voies 2 et 4 sont en direction de Londres. La plupart des quais grandes lignes sont découverts, mais des abris sont disposés sur chacun d'entre eux.
  • deux pour la Central line (5 et 6), qui ont un abri partagé ;
  • trois pour la District Line (7 à 9). Les voies 8 et 9 de la District Line sont partiellement couvertes by a short canopy, and retain a number of examples of early solid-disc Underground signs, used before Edward Johnston designed the familiar cocarde en 1919.

L'accès à tous les quais se fait en passant par des portillons de contrôle.

Projets modifier

There are plans for Crossrail trains to call at Ealing Broadway. Services are expected to commence in 2018,[2] after the station has been rebuilt with a spacious glass structure.[3][4]

The West London Business group backs a Surbiton-to-Brent Cross light rail, called the West London Orbital underground railway, based on Copenhagen Metro technology, which would include a station underground at Ealing Broadway.[5]{{Primary source claim|date=October 2009}}

The London Group of the Campaign for Better Transport has published a plan in 2008[6] for an off-road orbital North and West London Light railway (NWLLR), sharing the Dudding Hill Line freight corridor, and using the middle two of the six track beds at la station de métro North Acton. En avril 2009, Ealing Council voted to call on Transport for London fund a feasibility study into the light-rail proposal.[7]
