More than 160 injuries have been recorded at London Underground stations across the London Borough of Ealing over the past three years, with Acton Town station recording the highest number, according to newly released figures.
Data obtained through a Freedom of Information request by Personal Injury Solicitors London reveals that 168 injuries were reported across Tube stations in the borough between the 2022-23 and 2024-25 financial years. The figures, compiled from records held by Transport for London, also show that 10,473 injuries were reported across the Underground network during the same period.
Acton Town station recorded the highest in the borough with 46 incidents over the three-year period. North Acton station followed with 23 injuries, while Ealing Broadway station saw 22 reports. Other stations with notable totals included Northolt station (13) and Northfields station (12).
Across London, the busiest stations recorded the highest numbers of incidents. Waterloo station reported 471 injuries between 2022 and 2025, narrowly ahead of King’s Cross St Pancras station with 470. London Bridge station ranked third with 375 reports, while Euston station and Baker Street station also featured among the worst affected locations.
Across the network, slips, trips and falls were the most common cause of injury, accounting for 6,847 incidents. Accidents involving the gap between train and platform resulted in 1,336 reported injuries.
Transport for London paid out £3.2m in personal injury claims during the 2024-25 financial year, more than double the combined total from the previous two years.
Patrick Mallon, senior solicitor at Personal Injury Solicitors London, said: “The sharp rise in compensation payouts by TfL is a concerning trend. Thousands of people use these services each day to get about, and it’s important that they’re protected from the risk of harm when doing so.”
He added: “An injury can cause major disruption to a person’s life, preventing them from working and socialising.”
A TfL spokesperson said the safety of passengers and staff remained its “top priority”, adding that targeted work was under way to reduce risks around escalators, stairs and boarding trains.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has pledged to eliminate deaths and serious injuries from the capital’s transport network by 2041 as part of the Vision Zero programme.
