Unfortunately nothing has happened with Park Royal. AIUI the
construction of the station is tied into planning consent conditions
related to occupancy of the buildings in the adjacent development
(i.e. once occupancy hits a certain percentage, the station must be
built) and the conditions haven't been met yet.
According to
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...PkRoyalCentral
, the station must open before the third office block can open. Has the
third office block opened, or is it even under construction? A rather
uninformative picture of the station appeared on a billboard close to the
A40 link road, and
AFAIK is still there.
Wood Lane is more advanced than Park Royal (in that it is required for
the shopping centre) - although last time I looked in December, no
physical works had started.
While the WLL station at Holland Park Roundabout was required by the
planning consent for the shopping centre,
AFAIK the H&C station was not, but
has instead been the subject of a separate planning request by the shopping
centre developers (Chelsfield at the time).
