Planning permission was granted in 2004 for a temporary extension to
Hammersmith bus station using a vacant lot on the north east corner of
the Hammersmith gyratory. The extension would have provided overflow
capacity for the main bus station which is currently at capacity,
allowing service expansion and the short extension of routes 267 and H91
from their terminus on Grove Road outside the Hammersmith & City line
station to the new bus station to provide better interchange on journeys
into Hammersmith.

The aim was to have this temporary station operating from the end of
2004, with its eventual replacement within 5-7 years by a permanent
upper-level extension to the main bus station itself over the railway
tracks.

However, nothing ever happened, and I can find just two real mentions of
the scheme:

In the meantime, interchange has gotten slightly worse, as the 266 now
also terminates at the Hamm & City station on inbound journeys, when it
used to terminate at the bus station.

Does anyone have any idea what happened?
