Not really. The Croxley Link is being pushed up the agenda because it's a
perfect Blair project - by putting three extra stations on the tube map for
only 40 million quid, its political value per pound rating is excellent,
regardless of any actual usefulness that it might have. I have heard that
Watford Met is the fifth least used station on LU, and I'm not sure that
Ascot Road and Watford West will do an awful lot better.

Surely if a tube link to watford junction was required once more, then
re-extending the bakerloo line would be the most logical (and cheapest)
since its the most direct route. I can't see many people who want to
go to watford junction wanting to travel halfway around east buckinghamshire
on the met to get there!
