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 !!

And then a guided busway was rumoured....

The community railway approach is not what the users want - they would
prefer a through service to London"
