Two Beautiful Seats At West Acton Station

This seat forms the waiting area at West Acton station on the Central Line.

With the rounded window, it must be one of the most beautiful platform shelters on any rail station.

Note the picture of the second one on the other track.

Wikipedia says this about the design of the station.

The current station, replacing the original building, was designed by the Great Western Railway, on behalf of London Transport as part of the LPTB’s 1935-40 New Works Programme improvements and extensions to the Central line, by the GWR’s architect Brian Lewis and was completed by November 1940.

So it was actually designed by the Great Western Railway.
