Enjoyed your tour through an area well known to me for many years. Two comments. I heard that the reason that South Ealing is where it is, is that it was planned to be on Ascott Ave., but was put temporarily on South Ealing Road as the other location wasn’t ready. Delays continued. The community grew around the “temporary” station which is there to this day. The second point is about the walkway from Weymouth Avenue to the eastern end of the platforms at Northfields. Contrary to what you said, the basic structure is still there, even visible in the video, but trees have grown up through it as the floor was removed. Horizontal concrete supports of the walkway are still there, all the way along. The stairs down to the platforms no longer exist.

Thanks for the in-depth information!
I enjoyed that, used to live near South Ealing station a couple of decades or 3 ago
Me too as recently as 2020. Moved out just as the pandemic struck
Arriving at Northfields Station takes me back to when I used to work there as a train driver.
My Nana live in York Road and I lived in Radbourne Ave.
