Croxley Rail Link Petition

Maybe I'm missing something obvious , but if the goal is to get the tube to watford junction wouldn't it be a damn site cheaper just to re- extend the Bakerloo line there? Who realistically is going to go all round the houses via the met line from central london? No doubt there will be a small amount of local traffic but realistically I doubt it will amount to much and certainly not enough to justify what will probably be quite an expensive project (bridges don't come cheap plus all the track + signalling will probably need renewing since its been left to rot by NR for 6 years). It's for local traffic (one suggestion is Aylesbury to Watford trains) and to connect developments in west Watford with Watford Junction. The existing Met Watford branch does a healthy trade, despite its stupid location. The main service from Watford to London is Silverlink County (22 minutes to Euston), so no one would get either tube line all the way anyway. U |
