From ITV Teletext
PLANS TO DEVELOP LINE
The Strategic Rail Authority plans to develop under-used train lines,

including
the one in Hertfordshire.
The SRA plans to designate the line a '' community railway'' to cut costs

and
enhance low-frequency low-speed lines without lessening safety and

quality.
A consultation paper identifies the Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey

line as
a route for the project. Burkey

Only a few years ago there were heavy rumours of a tramway being built from
Watford, along the route of the St Albans branch to Hatfield and beyond !!
