While spending more than they would save on making the car park accessible
over the reinstated tracks. It is a very busy car park and losing it would
damage the attractiveness of Watford unction for many users.


The extra part of the car park would then be accessible from the
Imperial way side, around the end of the remaining sidings in the yard
(only a short stretch of new road would be needed). Access this way is
planned in the Hertfordshire Council improvement scheme anyway and
would involve a new road with a bridge over the line, linking St.
Albans Road to Imperial Way, with access from this road into the car
park.

It sure is a pain having to negotiate the congestion around the station to
get to the car park. Even a car park on the Imperial Rd side and a foot
bridge would help.
