Hanwell Station – 19th April 2019

These pictures show Hanwell station.

Hanwell station will be unlike any other station on Crossrail.

• It is Grade II Listed.
• It doesn’t have a high passenger usage.
• Platforms will be too short for the Class 345 trains and selected door opening will be used.
• The stairs up to the platforms must be some of the most Victorian in any station.
• To complete the station, two lifts are to be installed on the Crossrail platforms.

I do wonder if it could become a tourist attraction for those interests in modern metros and Victorian architecture.

Crossrail To Reading In December 2019

As current rumours are that Crossrail will open in December to Reading, it looks like the station will be ready in all its Victorian splendour..

It is planned that Hanwell station will have a train every ten minutes.
