History

South Ealing station was opened as a stop on the District Railway (later the District line) on 1 May 1883. These trains were initially steam-powered, but the line has been electrified since 1905.

The station has been served by the Piccadilly line since 29 April 1935. It was modernised between 1935-6, with the original buildings replaced, the eastbound platform receiving a new concrete canopy and waiting room and electric lights being installed.[7]

The District line service was withdrawn in 1964.[7]

The station building was again replaced in 1983.[7] It was refurbished once more in 2006.[5]

gollark: I don't appreciate you characterizing everything I or someone else says as a "smart alec remark".
gollark: This is a serious question which I would like to know the answer to.
gollark: ... what *did* you want to hear?
gollark: The only difference is that OC's hashing is done in Java, and so will be imperceptibly faster.
