History
The station opened as Acton by the North and South Western Junction Railway, but was renamed Acton Central on 1 November 1925. After merging into the London and North Western Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
When Sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Railways.
Between 1875 and 1902 it was connected with St Pancras via the Dudding Hill Line, which branches off the North London Line between Acton Central and Willesden Junction. Harlesden (Midland) railway station was the next stop on the line north. The Dudding Hill Line is still open today, but only carries freight.
Acton central station was named for closure by the 1963 Beeching Report.
Acton Central was in Zone 2 until 2 January 2008.
