Rail link scheme a priority

TWO transport schemes in the Watford area could benefit from £63m of
funding if the Government listens to regional recommendations.
The Croxley Rail Link (CRL) and improvements at Watford Junction
Station have been identified by the East of England Regional Assembly
as priorities, along with 23 other schemes earmarked for £778m of
investment over the next ten years.
The assembly considered 135 schemes before choosing priorities.
Subject to Government approval, the CRL, which is expected to cost
£66m, will get £50m, £11m in 2008 and £39min 2001. The improvements
at Watford Junction are expected to cost £16m and will get £13m in
2011.
