Between the Cental Line Platforms and the higher level GWR platforms is the GWR's "Ealing and Shepherds Bush" Railway, these closed in the mid 1960s. |

The Great Western Railway's 1904 platforms at North Acton.
They will close in 1947 along with Old Oak Lane, Park Royal West, Brentham, Perivale and Northolt when the Central Line tube is extended towards Greenford and West Ruislip. For Some reason the platforms at Ruislip Gardens stayed open until 1958, although these were also served by the ex-LNER Marylebone route. |

If it was post 1939 I would suggest it was a camouflaged pill box but 1938 would, I think, be too early for that? |
