The logical conclusion to this in my view is that the infrastructure
work should be done to allow through running to St Albans on a half-
hourly 8-car service to/from Euston throughout the day with a few peak
extras, and to withdraw all stops south of Watford (and some at
Watford) from other services.


8 coach services to St. Albans looks expensive!! All of the stations
would need extended platforms and St. Albans Abbey might be a bit
cramped to fit a longer platform in. I'm not saying that it isn't a
good idea, but it would be easier to get the 30 min service running
first, with the loop at Bricket Wood (which was the original plan) and
maybe adding 4 coaches at Watford Junction. I.e. work the service like
the Birmingham services which detach / attach at Northampton.
