Hanwell Station Gets A Second Entrance

Hanwell station, which will become a stop on Crossrail, is a Grade II Listed building, which according to Wikipedia, English Heritage says is in very poor condition.

A second entrance on the South side of the line has now been opened.

If this is the standard to which the rest of the station will be refurbished, I suspect that English Heritage will be pleased to update their view of the station.

As I’m writing this, I’m listening to Radio 5, where there has just been a piece talking about a shortage of bricklayers. Obviously, some very good ones were working hard on Hanwell station.

When I visited Hanwell station in October, I gave it a score of 3/10 and said it was a relic from the past.

I now have high hopes, that when this station opens fopr Crossrail, that it will be one of the jewels in London’s new train line.
