History

Northfields Depot was built for the western extension of the Piccadilly line and opened on 4 July 1932. Construction of the depot required the existing Northfields station to be rebuilt nearer to South Ealing station.[1]

Until 1964, the depot was also used by District line trains which ran to Hounslow West.[2]
