The Great Western Railway built the Ealing Broadway branch (the western part of the former Ealing & Shepherd's Bush Railway) and opened it for freight trains in April 1917, and the Central London Railway trains used the line from 3 August 1920. West Acton was built and owned by the GWR, and opened on 5 November 1923. This responsibility was taken over by the formation of the London Passenger Transport Board [London Transport] in July 1933.

This Photo shows the estate of houses built between 1924 - 1931 by the Great western Railway through the auspices of The Great Western (London) Garden Village Society. Employees of the company could let properties if they were members, and held shares in the said Co-operative.

One such member I believe lived here was Driver P.W.Stacey who was an Engine Driver at the nearby Old Old Common Engine Sheds. He was the man responsible for the train crash at Norton Fitzwarren, Somerset, on the night of the November 4th 1940, unfortunately killing 17 persons and injuring seriously 50 others. One of the contributing factors was said to be that his home had recently been damaged in an air raid.
