The L_A_P platform looked pretty much finished when I trundled through
last week. More than you can say for EM Parkway.

The TLP inauguration was marked by a ceremony at LTN, so it's offically
taken just shy of a year to build them (only minor works outstanding
now). Then again, the % of that year actually involving work (minute for
minute) is rather small, and in all likelihood only red tape would
prevent the extensions from coming into use anytime before the Winter
08/09 service, seeing as it should take nowhere near as long as 8 weeks
to complete the outstanding tasks.
