Acton Main Line is a relatively small station and the penultimate station on the eastern section of the GWML. It sees services operated by MTR Elizabeth Line using Class 345s, Heathrow Express using Class 387s, and of course Great Western Railway using Class 387s, 800s and 802s. All Great Western Railway services pass through the station. Acton Main Line also sits adjacent to Acton Terminal Complex (Acton T.C) freight yard which allows for spotting of a lot of freight services.
Acton Main Line unfortunately doesn't have the unrestricted views to the fast lines that some other stations outside of London have, but I found a nice footbridge put in as part of the improvement works to ready Acton Main Line for the opening of the Elizabeth Line. I visited Acton Main Line once before in 2019 and the station has changed so much since then.
Acton Main Line is probably one of the better stations inside of London but I can't give the views much credit sadly.
Enjoy this near 25-minute compilation of the variety here at Acton Main Line on a beautiful summer's day!
