Great connections

















How many stations are there is Acton?
One of the most important is Acton Central.
It has great links to central and  north London.  Change at Willesden Junction at straight into Euston. It will be brilliant for Stratford and the Olympics   Via Gospel Oaks you can get to Barking.
For years it was British Rail and the North London line but now on the Overground..
The station dates back to around 1875.  Back in those days it was connected to St Pancras.  In the 1970s it was connected to Broad Street (next door to Liverpool)
Amazingly, the station and the North London line survived closure from Beeching.
