Maybe I'm missing something obvious , but if the goal is to get the
tube to watford junction wouldn't it be a damn site cheaper just to re-
extend the Bakerloo line there? Who realistically is going to go all
round the houses via the met line from central london?

AIUI the Bakerloo will take over the Watford New Line in a few years time.
The purpose of the Croxley Link iis for connection with the WCML and access
to Watford High Street. The stub to Watford Met is badly sited and could be
abandoned, leaving land with development value which will contribute to the
cost of building the link.
