Where was the old red station building; was it where the bus station is
now, next to the old Central London Railway power station?
More or less - it was on the south east corner of the junction of Wood
Lane and Ariel Way - the carriageway of the bus station is set back from
Wood Lane somewhat, so the old station building frontage was where the
wide pavement is now (which also hosts a Cycle Hire docking station).
FWIW the red brick and black glazed building on the north east corner of
the junction, Network House, is not new, so might help a little when
comparing old and new views:

I assume the new building you can see in the above photo that features
ventilation shafts is just that, ventilation for the Central line which
runs beneath.
What is the smaller part of the power station which is not used by buses
used for now? There seems to be some sort of equipment in there; is it
a substation for the Underground?
Other than filming some of 'Who framed Roger Rabbit', what was the power
station building used for after it ceased to be a power station?
