The new station building on Manor Road opened on 25 March 2021 as part of a £3bn upgrade to existing stations on the Elizabeth line. It replaced the old station on Drayton Green Road which had stood on the site since 1871. The new station features an airy ticket hall and step-free access to all platforms, including the new bay platform which forms the terminus of GWR's Greenford branch line. When the new station opened, West Ealing was also served by up to eight trains per hour between Paddington and Hayes & Harlington or Heathrow Airport on a service then branded as TfL Rail but using Elizabeth line rolling stock. In front of the building the picture shows some of the wooden planters which were previously used by Ealing Council to block several dozen residential roads in the controversial Low Traffic Neighbourhoods - most of which were scrapped in October 2021 following widespread opposition.
