And here is the DfT announcement:

Relevant bullet point:

Croxley Rail Link (Watford). Extension of the Metropolitan line from
Croxley to Watford Junction mainline station plus two new stations (inc
closure of current Watford Met line station). (£76.2m DfT contribution
towards a total cost of £115.9m).
---/quote---

So - despite all the handwringing when these 45 projects were supposedly put
on the back burner by the current lot, 45 of 45 have eventually been
approved, after various cost estimates have been whittled down. Is there a
positive story here after all?
