If they want the tube to go to Watford Junction why not just re-extend
the bakerloo line? Its a logical and direct route, whereas this
extension couldn't be more round the houses if it tried. Why on earth
would someone want to travel almost out to buckinghamshire to go around
in a semi circle just to travel to watford junction?

Curiously, some people don't start their journeys in London.

This isn't aimed at the people living or working in London (who can use
the Silverlink trains already). It's for those who live in Pinner and
Rickmansworth and Buckinghamshire who want to get to Watford shops or
the WCML trains.

So why is it being built by Transport for London?
