Agree. The Croydon - Clapham - Watford service is very well used,
especially in the peaks. Patronage has really built up since it was
started.

I seem to recall that Virgin are planning to cut out the Watford Junction
stop for the majority of WCML services. If this happens, I would expect a
sharp decrease in patronage, to the point where this service may as well
be abandoned.


The DfT have decided, rather than Virgin planning.

However you also have to take into account the various West Midlands
(Silverlink County) services, which will still stop at Watford Junction, so
I don't think the situation is as bleak as you imagine; and presumably with
GoVia being responsible for WM and Southern, there may be better marketing
of the potential through journeys...
