Cyclists on the approach to the Ealing Common and Uxbridge Road junction (1946) Across the junction, Hangar Lane continues north along Hanger Lane towards the present-day Gyratory. The main Uxbridge Road was the A40 until the Western Avenue was designated with this number. The roadside trees have wartime-era three white rings painted on them but the RAC road sign would not have gone up during the war, so this dates the photo to be immediately post-war.

It was also known as “the kettle run” since the crew could set off from Acton Town, travel the short distance to South Acton and back and the tea making started at Acton Town would be finished upon their return. It was the first example of One Person Operation on the Underground - the little trains had a driver but no guard. The justification was that there was only one car on the train.
