Hanwell railway station is a railway station in Hanwell in the London Borough of Ealing. The station is managed by Great Western Railway but served by local services operated by Heathrow Connect from London Paddington to Heathrow Airport.
The station is manned for part of the day. There is a passenger-operated ticket machine at the station's northern entrance as well as a PERTIS passenger-operated ticket machine issuing 'Permit to Travel' tickets which are exchanged on-train or at manned stations for travel tickets.
The station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway which opened on 4 June 1838, although Hanwell station was not ready until December of that year; it opened on 1 December. From 1 March 1883, the station was served by District Railway services running between Mansion House and Windsor; the service was discontinued as uneconomic after 30 September 1885. The station was renamed Hanwell and Elthorne on 1 April 1896, and reverted to Hanwell on 6 May 1974. Re-built circa 1875–77 it has been declared a grade II listed building by English Heritage but is stated to be in a poor condition.
The south entrance was closed in the 1970s, but reopened in December 2014 with funding from Ealing Council and Transport for London.
The station is sited a short distance east of the Grade I listed Wharncliffe Viaduct.
On platform 3 is a station nameboard, bearing the pre-1974 name Hanwell and Elthorne.
