An interesting article on the tangled history of this absurdly

If you read the report to it's conclusion you will see that the law

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.-

For very few people. After all, the Harrow area and the Wembley area
already have services to Watford Junction.

The only point I can see in a Croxley Link would be a diesel version to

allow the entire Chiltern Amersham service to be diverted to Euston, so

that the Chiltern mainline could run more trains into Marylebone. But a

curve from Northwick Park to the "slow" OLE lines at South Kenton would

probably do a similar job much more cheaply.

More easily said than done

Well, Northwick Park is well placed for a new curve to be built, and
perhaps some of the large back gardens of the houses on Windermere Avenue
could be borrowed during the construction. I've no idea how good the B/C
ratio would be, but it's probably doable at reasonable cost.
