The Croxley Rail Link will connect the Metropolitan line in Croxley

from the met line from prosperous areas like Moor Park and Harrow and
do some some shopping, without having to bring their car.

From Harrow ? There are already buses and railway services and the
car-using people from the parts of Harrow which are "prosperous" will
probably continue to drive just as the majority who don't live near
the Met. line will probably mostly continue to use the existing
services. "Fingers crossed" sounds about right if that is what he is
depending on.

It would have been useful last Saturday when the wires came down at Wembley,
stopping the job, especially while it took 3 hours to evacuate a Pendolino
to trackside and the DC was stopped as well.
