Seven Kings – rear 3 doors (i.e. the rear car) Manor Park – rear 6 doors (i.e. the rear 2 cars) Forrest Gate – rear 4 doors (i.e. the rear car + 1 door) Maryland – rear 5 doors (i.e. the rear car + 2 doors) Paddington Main Line - the centre door on each of the rear 6 cars Hanwell – rear 8 doors (i.e. the rear 2 cars + 2 doors) Hayes & Harlington - 1 rear door (i.e. the last door in rear car) Iver – rear 4 doors (i.e. the rear car + 1 door) Langley – rear 5 doors (i.e. the rear car + 2 doors) Burnham – rear 3 doors (i.e. the rear car) Taplow – rear 3 doors (i.e. the rear car) Twyford – rear 4 doors (i.e. the rear car + 1 door)
Note that on-board announcements will make it clear which doors will not operate, and passengers on the train will be able to move to any other part of the train freely along the central corridor.
