But Scammells is a housing estate. How do the Government expect people to
get out of there cars and onto public transport if they close it.

Croxley Green station is still some way from the housing estate, so I
wouldn't expect many people from there to use the train when there is a
more convenient bus. Remember that when the LM ran a half-hourly service
throughout the day (for eighteen months) nobody used it.

The connection from the Metropolitan Line would be much more likely to be
useful.
