I can't recall if anyone has mentioned this, but station
construction is well underway.


Don't you mean Imperial Wharf, or has the name been changed?


Oh, right. What a stupid name for a station. Imagine when engineering work
leads to trains terminating there, someone in Brighton or Milton Keynes
seeing "Imperial Wharf" on the front of a train. If the developers wanted
the station to have the same name as their development, they should have
called their development Chelsea Harbour.


They have.


Indeed - see http://www.imperialwharf.com.


Imperial Wharf is the name of the development taking place along
Townmead Road directly opposite Imperial Road which has been developed
as a wider, smoother road (complete with bus lane just right for taxis
to use) than Lots Road which does not have 'public' access right through
to Townmead Road as there is a barrier at the west entrance to Chelsea
Harbour.


The C3 bus (Earl's Court - Clapham Jn) is allowed to go that way
though! Do they not let you cabbies through?


The whole Imperial Wharf development when completed is much larger than
Chelsea Harbour.
