Thank you for your replies.  It is disappointing news!  In deciding whether to apply to the Ealing school/s, I have to take into account the journey to get there.  I would appreciate some feedback from travellers on what it is like to travel from Paddington to Ealing B/W at around 8 am each weekday, and returning 4-5pm.  Are there lots of school children travelling?  Are they well behaved?  Is the service fairly reliable? etc.  Your comments would be appreciated.  Many thanks.

Hello Everyone, This is my first posting.  My daughter may soon be attending a Secondary School in Ealing and will need to get the train from Paddington to Ealing B.  I heard it rumoured that this train may stop at Westbourne Park again.  Is this true?  This would be perfect for her if it is.  I would be really interested to hear if there a campaign to re-open the Westbourne Park station.  Looking forward to hearing from someone.  Many thanks
