Well, the walk was an easy one. The stations on the line (esp Watford High
Street) look pretty dismal though.


I wonder if Silverlink not doing anything to make their
trains/stations more attractive is because the trains are already
crammed in the peaks, so there's no point doing anything that might
draw more passengers?

Incidentally, it was mentioned in uk.railway the other day that TfL
plan to restore the Bakerloo service to Watford Junction in 2010.
Service will be 6tph, with the extra trains required being provided by
'67 stock coming off the Vic. So expect station improvements around
then. (No word on what will happen to the Euston service, but at a
guess it will be cut back to peak hours only if not axed completely.)
