Houses alongside that section of the A40 were compulsorily purchased to
permit that widening. Anybody know if they were sold back or sold to
other people or are they just left empty ?

There is a massive amount of construction going on between White City
and Savoy Circus, and some to Gipsy Corner. Looks like HA
construction as it's not the usual box concrete of the "throw it up
and sell" brigade but that's a guess. They're building right to the
pavement too. Wonder what pollution numbers are like there?

A lot of brownfield sites are being filled in by HAs: witness the
Ladbroke Grove/Harrow Road corners with flats right at the junctions.

Totally off topic but is this the famous Sunil of 'covered every line
in zones 1-4' fame? I've only become a usenaut fairly recently but
courtesy of a time travelling machine called Google I've read much
about your past exploits - perhaps I should expand on that a little for
those who're slightly curious as to what I mean - your past London
transport exploration exploits.

Yes it is! Although during season 1999-2000 I covered everything within
the M25. And newer stuff like the Docklands LCY extension last
Christmas.
I haven't spent much time on here in recent years because I'm now in
Cambridge, though will be moving on again come next Summer.
