Just a quiet station served by the TFL service for now. Expected to be on the Elizabeth line when the crossrail service become active on the entire planned network. Has been very clean the very few times I've used it.

It could be very crowded during peak hours and tickets on the expensive side while traveling during peak time. Hence, check before you travel and plan wisely.

Handy option to have to get to Heathrow Airport and back (in the face of Tube strikes and whatnot).

Good , neat and clean. A bit far from north acton but if u need to catch Elizabeth line from nearby places then this is the go to station.

First time to ride this train that evening on the new Elizabeth Line. Just the one stop to Paddington Station.

The Elizabeth Line (Crossrail 1, TfL) trains only depart every 15min vs every 5min from any other station like Ealing Broadway. To Paddington: @12, 27, 42, 57min To Heathrow/Reading: @13, 28, 43, 58min
Recommendation: live in Ealing Broadway that offers more expensive properties but semi-reliable Central Line and sluggish District Line.
PROs + Modern + Relatively safe + Cover from rain and wind + Bathroom at entrance/exit
CONs - Trains leave 2 min before departure time - Only 4 trains/h to Paddington/Heathrow/Reading. - Deafeningly loud train doors sounds (89dB) - Crossrail is not integrated into London Tube network meaning you have to tap in/out and pay again to use the tube or vice versa - There are no other convenient tube or train lines nearby - No announcements or warnings when trains are cancelled or delayed - Waste of money if you bought property here thinking you - Hardly any traina on weekends to and from London, Reading or Heathrow Airport and neither Google Maps or Citymapper have accurate schedules - Crossrail project has been delayed for at least 4 years, and I doubt it'll open in 2022 - No repercussion for people jumping the ticket barriers without paying - No internet on an Lizzy Line stations yet
