The remainder of the site is now being built on with a residential
development called "Regency Heights", and it looks as if no new
platforms are now required. It would be great to have someone from Brent
Council (or is it Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation)
explain why a sixth office block would require new Central Line
platforms, but that 807 new homes don't.

I would presume that those 800 new homes are expected to have a
different traffic pattern from a new office block, and so not need the
extra infrastructure.


In terms of being a source of passengers, rather than a sink, yes.
But we'd need a better insight into whether those two different flows
are better handled by road transport compared to rail.


I doubt traffic flows or anything else transport related comes into it.


It's what I take the expression "traffic pattern", above, to mean.
