I am told that the new station between Streatham and Mitcham Jctn,
built in about the same time it took to construct the Pyramids, will
open for business on May 19th.

If it does succesfully open in May, considering the work only
commenced last October, following approval in August, perhaps you
need to rethink your comparison with the pyramids?

I don't know how long the Pyramids took to build, but Grove Road was
straightened in order to make room for the station in approximately 1986. 22
years does seem like a rather long time to build a station.
