"Cassio Metro" - the new group of buildings next to Watford Met
"TheOneKEA" wrote in message
om... I was in Watford today and couldn't help but notice the large new construction that was in progress next to Watford Station on the Metropolitan Line. It looked like either a block of apartments or a business park. Does anybody know if this new construction means a longer career for Watford Met, if the Croxley Link ever happens? I doubt it - there are huge office and apartment developments that are nowhere near train stations. For example, the massive new thing at Tally Ho Corner in North Finchley is further from any station than Watford Met is from Ascot Road planned station. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

There's a difference? a railway station has platforms laid next to a railway a train station has actual trains not underground tubes call at it |

Is there a reason why tube trains aren't "actual trains"? More importantly, is there any reason why the subsurface trains that serve Watford Met. aren't "actual trains"? |
