History
South Ealing station was opened as a stop on the District Railway (later the District line) on 1 May 1883. These trains were initially steam-powered, but the line has been electrified since 1905.
The station has been served by the Piccadilly line since 9 January 1933.[10] It was modernised between 1935 and 1936, with the original buildings replaced, the eastbound platform receiving a new concrete canopy and waiting room and electric lights being installed.[11]
The District line service was withdrawn in 1964.[11]
The station building was again replaced in 1983.[11] It was refurbished once more in 2006.[8]
