Improvement works to Hanwell station are set to start in April and should be complete by the summer.
The scheme, which includes £250,000 funding from TfL and a further £50,000 from the council, will see the train station’s southern entrance reopened after long-term demand.
Bassam Mahfouz, Ealing Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, said: “A new southern entrance will open the station up so many more people who want to can use their local station and get the benefit of access to Crossrail when it arrives.
“Having secured an additional £250,000 of funds to make it happen means that the money we have allocated as a council can go to make further improvements at the station.
“We are continuing to push for a desperately needed lift at the station on the back of our success in Greenford and Ealing Broadway.
“It’s another good news story as to how we are transforming access to public transport across the borough thanks to a Labour council.”
Conservative transport spokesman, councillor Phil Taylor, said: “It is great news that TfL is going to pay for the southern entrance of Hanwell station to be opened.
“Just like the new lift at Greenford station, the roundabouts that are smoothing traffic flows across the borough and all the borough’s cycle spending, TfL under Boris Johnson is prioritising spending money on practical local projects that we all value.
“Next we hope that TfL will pay for a lift at Hanwell station.”
The station is currently served by just one northern entrance, off Campbell Road.
A southern entrance, via Station Approach, was previously used to ease commuter congestion but was bricked up in the 1970s amid security fears.
