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.

Remember that it was being extended along the alignment of the GW&GC Joint
line, which is, probably, what is shown on the street atlas, altough it is
true that many anticipatory maps were drawn including many of LT's internal
ones
