Trams could be running regularly between Watford and St Albans by
2012,


Could they ?


Won't the existing rail line have to be subject to formal closure
procedure which has not even started yet ?


Why? They're not closing the line, just running a different form of
rolling stock on it (and adding a passing loop).


Addiscombe - Elemers End and Wimbledon - West Croydon both had formal
closure procedings and AFAIK Manchester Bury did as well.
