From eWatford Observer, *2:14pm Wednesday 3rd November 2010

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 ?

The DfT will probably end up running a parallel but completely unadvertised
taxi or bus once a week, on current form...

If you can get away with a rail replacement bus for an indeterminate
time, I see no reason you couldn't get away with a rail replacement
tram in the same way.
