Was the West Ruislip (Central Line) new build or obtained from the GW.

Ealing Broadway to Shepherds Bush was promoted by the GW, who originally
intended a suburban terminus at Shepherds Bush with interchange there with
the Central London Railway (Twopenny Tube, Central Line). In the event,
after a WW1 delay, the line did not get passenger trains until 1920 when
tube trains were projected to Ealing Broadway. The additional tracks from
North Acton to West Ruislip were built by the GWR but always intended for
the Central Line, and when they were opened in 1947 the GWR local servicewas
withdrawn (though Greenford Main Line station had one up train a day as late
as 1964).
