Plans to start Croxley Rail Link services in 2016

The formal (Railways Act 2005) closure notice for Watford LUL station has
now been published. Any objections must be in by 12 April, though actual
closure will not take place until the Croxley Link is open, expected in
2016.

I expect the residents of the new estate next to the station who no doubt
BOUGHT BAsed on proximity to the tube are going to be mightily miffed.


And even more miffed with their solicitors, if the plans for the
existing station to close were not bought to their attention before
buying?

Depends how much of a train buff the solictor is. Pointing out local amenities
that may close is not their job.

That is part of the job of a conveyancer. They should be undertaking
searches of current and future developments which may impact upon the
property. Hertfordshire County Council have had the Croxley Rail link
in their plans for a fair few years now available for anyone to find.

Whether all solicitors undertake full searches is another matter of
course.

Does closing a facility count as a future development? When I moved house
no mention was made of the industrial estate down the road closing. Not that I
cared one way or the other.

Anyway , I bet a lot of them assumed it would never happen given how much
procrastination theres been over the years.

They only search a specific list of utilities and councils, which I'm
fairly sure won't show any railway closures, but might reveal if there's
approval for a new railway within a few hundred yards.

But, as the Croxley Rail link is a council plan, the alterations to
the railway infrastructure should appear, both the new bits and the
closure of old bits.

The nearest tube station is quite some distance. I guess it would be
Edgeware?

Not that I mentioned tube stations but, if you are going to be
pedantic, it would help if you could get the name Edgware correct!!
Stanmore is closer to Watford Met anyway.

Boltar mentioned "Tube" station. Your post was a convenient point to
join the conversation.

Thank you fot the correction of "Edgware".

I did wonder if Stanmore, or Rainers Lane might be closer.

I've never heard of "Rainers Lane" (it's certainly not in London), but
wouldn't Harrow & Wealdstone on the Bakerloo line be nearer?
