Default Watford Junction.. On the Met, Via Croxley...

"Brenda" wrote in message
om...

Does any one out there have any idea as to a
timeframe for the extension of the Met, along
the old Croxley link to Watford Junction....?


You should have come to the talk last night in Watford Town Hall, as
mentioned in this newsgroup by me on the 14th!

The news is that, to my surprise, it looks like it's going to go ahead.
The LU project team expect...

* funding to be approved in December 2003
* Public consultation - early 2004
* Transport And Works Act application Spring 2004
* Public Inquiry Autumn/Winter 2004
* Possibly start building early 2006
* Trains running 2008.

Other news: Watford High Street is to be made wheelchair accessible, along
with the new stations at Watford West and Ascot Road. (The platforms to be
used at Watford Junction are already wheelchair-accessible.).

Watford West station will have exits at both ends.

If you have links to any sites on the subject
I'd be very pleased to have them
