<b>Greenford station, with DMU leaving, 1991.</b><br>
View eastward, towards London and Ealing. The scene is from the centre island platform used by the LT Underground Central Line western extension, dating from 30/6/47 when the extension from North Acton was opened, going on to West Ruislip from 21/11/48. The bay platform in the middle is used by the shuttle service from Ealing on the ex-GWR West Ealing/Hanwell - Greenford Loop. The ex-GWR former Paddington - Birmingham main line (New North Main Line, Acton - Northolt section) via High Wycombe, passes over on the left, but this has long since ceased to carry passenger services and is now a single line, little-used. (See Link ). The LT lines are seen to rise steeply ahead as they cross the east-south loop, which still survives, between the main line and the line to West Ealing. Here a DMU is seen departing for Ealing via West Ealing - and the signal-arm is only just returning to the vertical.
