This is in fact a proposal by Metronet (not LU) to build a depot for
track renewal work on disused railway land next to the Grand Union Canal
south of Croxley station next to Long Valley Wood. The land was
formerly the Tip Sidings where LU used to dump building rubble etc. The
connection is still in place off the southbound line from Croxley just
before it crosses the canal.

So if I've got this right, the local NIMBYs are objecting to a change of
use from railway to railway?

From disused railway land to railway land to be used to help make
improvements on the Metropolitan Line. Next week they're be writing a letter
to the papers saying that something should be done to improve the same line!
