Northolt tube station is located in Northolt in the London Borough of Ealing. On the Central Line, it lies between Greenford and South Ruislip, in Travelcard Zone 5.

Northolt Station opened its doors in 1948. The had originally been scheduled to open during the 1930s but because of the war, it was opened later.

The island platforms were changed as the current platform 1 was supposed to be on platform 2, they were swapped around the 2000s.

The station layout is an island platform with passenger access down from the booking hall. West of the platforms a shunting neck allows services terminating at the station to be moved off the running lines for later dispatch eastwards. East of the station, a crossover on the other side of the road overbridge allows trains arriving from Greenford and terminating to be reversed straight back towards central London without being shunted.

The passenger facilities on the platforms were modernised some years ago with platform resurfacing, removal of the heated waiting room and improvement of the lighting.

North of the Central Line the tracks of what remains of the GWR line from Paddington can still be seen. These are still used by freight trains, and by a single daily passenger service (operated by First Great Western Link for Chiltern Railways) from High Wycombe. There are no platforms.
