| Summary : Northolt Halt was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1907. With the extension of the Central line through Northolt in 1948 a new station was built to the designs of Dr Frederick Curtis with Howard Cavanagh and RH Jones of the Architect's Office, British Railways (Western Region). However, due to the economic situation after the Second World War, the station could not be completed. Temporary passenger facilities were provided and the platform completed in the short term, and the work on the road level station building continued sporadically throughout the 1950s. By the time finance was available to erect permanent structures Curtis's designs had become outdated and they were restyled and simplified by John Kennett and Roy Turner. The station opened to serve Central line trains on 21st November 1948. |
