Hanwell station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway which opened on 4th June 1838, although Hanwell station opened on 1st December 1838. The station was renamed Hanwell and Elthorne on 1st April 1896, and reverted to Hanwell on 6th May 1974. The station was re-built in the 1870s and is grade II listed. On this platform is a station nameboard still bearing the pre-1974 name Hanwell and Elthorne - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4109136 In this view from Platform 2, the two fast lines are out of sight to the right while the two slow lines are to the left.
