I've never used Acton Main Line Station although I've passed through
it on numerous occasions. Apart from the Crossrail impetus, was the
station anyway in need of improvement?

I'd say yes - it is typical of a dire inner London suburban station
that suffered the worst ravages of BR cost cutting but has seen little
money spent on it since.

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/SME/ht..._AML/plan.html allows you to
look round the station - place your cursor over an area and a photo
pops up. It's hardly an inviting station - imagine using it on a
freezing cold, wet Winter's evening. Ugh.

The one time I used it, back in the 1970s, it had a train or two in the
peaks only. Then it really was uncared for. When did the regular service
start? With Heathrow Connect?
