View north from Acton main line station. Aggregates come by sea then rail - see Port of London web page http://www.portoflondon.co.uk/display_fixedpage.cfm/id/548/site/commercial which tells us "Rail is crucial to Hanson’s operations and each year 500,000 tonnes of sand and gravel from the London terminals is conveyed by rail to four major depots around London at Acton, West Drayton, Brentford and Heathrow."
