The station was opened in 1947 replacing the Central Line's former station
Wood Lane. The station was originally planned to have opened in 1940 though progress was put on hold by the Second World War. Between White City and
Stratford the Central Line is underground [1].
The station has three through lines with the central line having platforms on both sides. Unlike most stations White City has right hand running through the station not left hand. This is due to a legacy of Wood Lane station, which was the Central London Railway's original Western terminus and had a loop for trains to return.
