Default 2.5 month closure of Watford DC Lines to Euston

I have always thought that would be a good move. *Although DC would no

at that point and the Primrose Hill platforms are not far away.

... and have you tried getting on the Northern Line at peak time at
Chalk Farm?!?! There is a perfectly good transport link between
Kilburn High Road, South Hampstead, Chalk Farm and Camden Town in the
31 bus. Why replicate this route with a rail service?

These are not just lines on a map... there are people following those
lines trying to get around London to go about their daily lives. Why
should the hundreds of people who use each and every train to and from
Euston (from stations far further north than just Kilburn High Road)
lose a vital service, even for 2.5 months??
