You might be wondering what exactly this brick and concrete behemoth is. It’s Northfields Depot. It’s been a vital part of London’s transportation network since 1932. You see, this wasn’t always a depot. It was the site of the old Northfields station – and not just any old station. You see, with the Piccadilly line’s expansion westward, the old station had to move to make room for this imposing depot. The old station was moved closer to South Ealing station. This meant that in 1964, the newly built Northfields Depot became a home not only for the Piccadilly line trains but also for the District line trains running to Hounslow West. This depot has been vital for keeping London’s Underground trains running smoothly. This is truly an important part of the city’s history.
