Future
Plans are in hand to provide Crossrail services at the station. As part of this proposal, services from the Greenford Branch Line will terminate at West Ealing. Network Rail will create capacity for this by converting the former LCS milk train bay into an extra bay platform.
In addition, various further alterations will be made by Network Rail:
- New station building with a larger ticket hall with level access from Manor Road (to the north of the station)
- Step-free access
- Platforms 3-4 extended to enable 10-car trains to stop
- Improved passenger facilities including increased lighting, a new canopy on platform 4, and information and security systems

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The Mind in Infancy is, methinks, like the Body in Embrio, and receives Impressions so forcible, that they are as hard to be removed by Reason, as any Mark with which a Child is born is to be taken away by any future Application.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.
The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another—and always into a better set—things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms. The future is worse than the ocean—there is nothing there. It will be what men and circumstances make it.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
