West Acton and were built and owned by the GWR, and both opened on 5 November 1923. GWR steam freight trains also ran through West Acton until 1938, when the London Underground tracks were segregated further east, through East Acton station, and to the west of North Acton station. The current station, replacing the original building, was designed by the Great Western Railway, on behalf of London Transport as part of the LPTB's 1935-40 New Works Programme improvements and extensions to the Central line, by the GWR's architect Brian Lewis and was completed by November 1940.〔Underground Architecture: David Lawrence: Capital Transport: Harrow: 1994: p144〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Acton tube station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
