2. There is quite a network of Tube lines around the Hanger Lane area, but
nothing is "joined up". For example, there is Hanger Lane on the Central,
Park Royal on the Piccadilly and Neasden on the Jubilee, but no local
interchange. Has there never been any economic reason to do this? Would
joining them up improve the links and improve the local economy?

The reason for the set up is simply the old one of the historical
railway company development and competition. Much has been mooted over
the years about trying to build a new station on the Central Line.

Nothing's been mentioned about this for a long time. Is it still in
the pipeline somewhere? Or dead in the water?

IIRC there was (at least at one time) an incentive for it to be built
quickly, as building part of the business park was conditional on the
station being open...
