Watford, what for?
The Watford Met line extension impasse continues, with the blame for the
budget mess now coalescing around Boris Johnson. It looks like he lumbered London with another Garden Bridge-style ill-thought out commitment for little benefit: https://www.londonreconnections.com/2017/tfl-confirm-gap-croxley-rail-link-funding/ |

Obviously Mr Johnson left TfL with an open ended financial risk by signing the Mayoral Decision(s). -- Paul C via Google |
