In message , writes Are there/were there? Any plans to extend the Central Line past West Ruislip? The original (pre-war) plan was to continue two stations further - Harefield Road and Denham. Post-war greenbelt legislation restricted housing development, and thus potential passengers, in the area, so this final part of the westward extension was never built. I have a street atlas* with a map that shows it as existing. Denham is there, but no station at Harefield Road. * Bartholomew's Reference Atlas of Greater London, 1940 -- Thoss E-mail address usenetatamoladdotorgdotuk |

writes Are there/were there? Any plans to extend the Central Line past West Ruislip? There were also plans to extend the other branch of the central line past Ealing - it would have gone to Uxbridge, roughly along the route of the recently abandoned West London Tram. I still don't see why they didn't propose that instead of the tram - digging a cut-and-cover route under the main road |
