An interesting article on the tangled history of this absurdly expensive
project whose time has come, and probably gone, as its parliamentary
approval is about to lapse, with no sign of the funding gap being filled:

AIUI if work has started before PP etc. expires then it can continue.

If you read the report to it's conclusion you will see that the law for
these works is different to PP.

Still it is not looking good for this project. Taking the Met. Into
Watford Junction would provide a very useful interchange. Diverting
the Overground to Rickmansworth would be an interesting option.
