It seems very bad that the following info, on Ealing Common station, was obtained today by myself:

Station Details

Ealing Common (Zone 3)
Lines served
District Line
Piccadilly Line
Ealing Common Station
London Underground Ltd.
Uxbridge Rd
London
W5 3LD
0845 330 9880

Ticket Halls 1
Lifts 0
Escalators 0
Gates 3
Toilets no
Photo Booths 1
Cash Machines 0
Payphones 2
Car park no
Vending Machines 2 snack, 0 drink
Help Points 0 on platforms, 0 in ticket halls, 0 elsewhere
Bridge yes
Waiting Room yes
Other Facilities

The snack vending machines were removed a long time ago, help points were added at least 12 months ago at station refurbishment. There is no waiting room. There is no photo booth (this was removed at least 18 months ago) ! Why is this information not updated? Seems very poor to me!

Also the following is similarly inaccurate and poor:

Station Details

Ealing Broadway (Zone 3)
Lines served
Central Line
District Line
Ealing Broadway Station
The Broadway
London
W5 2NU
0845 330 9880

Ticket Halls 1
Lifts 0
Escalators 0
Gates 0
Toilets no
Photo Booths 1
Cash Machines 0
Payphones 0
Car park no
Vending Machines 2
Help Points 0 on platforms, 0 in ticket halls, 0 elsewhere
Bridge no
Waiting Room no
Other Facilities routeways platform to ticket hall.

There are waiting rooms on this station, there are several payphones, there are no photo booths, there is a cash machine, there are toilets available, and there is SEVERAL ticket gates (not 0)

Should we disregard ALL INFO from the TFL website in case of inaccuracy (incompetence on there part)

The same cannot be said of the information about Ealing Common though...

That is exactly what TfL would say, I'm sure. Blame it on somebody else, because technically the people running the station are Acme Contracts LTD so we couldn't care less...

Perhaps I'm a little cynical, but companies *love* to have a sub-contractor or the like to blame... so the customer/passenger never gets anywhere... the jist of my point was, the passenger doesn't care whether the toilets are owned by FGW or LUL, they are toilets.
