West Ealing Station – 1st February 2026

Because of the confusion of WordPress yesterday, I had to go back to West Ealing station to take more pictures today.

These are the pictures that I took.

These are some of my thoughts.

The High-Density Transport-Hub Cluster

This seems to be coming on with several blocks now visible and the Waitrose site to be developed.

There also seems to be some useful shops, which include a pleasant Italian cafe on the North side of the rail lines.

The Fast-Charge System Contacts

Note.

  1. These are shown in Pictures 16-17!
  2. There are two contacts, which are in yellow for safety reasons.
  3. I wonder how many can be installed?
  4. Is it one per battery and one battery per car?

I suspect by duplicating cables and putting them underneath and between the tracks, the Fast-Charge system could handle a train like a Class 800 train.

Will Other High-Density Transport-Hub Clusters Be Developed Along The Elizabeth Line?

This is one for the nimbys, planners, politicians and residents, but I don’t see why some councils will try.
