I seem to recall that Virgin are planning to cut out the Watford Junction
stop for the majority of WCML services. If this happens, I would expect a
sharp decrease in patronage, to the point where this service may as well
be abandoned.


The former is true, but from experience the latter won't be. Its main
patronage is commuters and other mid-distance travellers connecting
from Silverlink to/from SWT-land, which is also how I use it.

Despite it serving Gatwick (sometimes), you don't see a lot of what
look like air travellers (with luggage) on it, as it's quicker to use
GatEx.
