The news is that, to my surprise, it looks like it's
going to go ahead. The LU project team expect...

What good news! There is hope for public transportation yet.

[chevrons corrected...]

Not really. The Croxley Link is being pushed up the agenda because it's a
perfect Blair project - by putting three extra stations on the tube map for
only 40 million quid, its political value per pound rating is excellent,
regardless of any actual usefulness that it might have. I have heard that
Watford Met is the fifth least used station on LU, and I'm not sure that
Ascot Road and Watford West will do an awful lot better.

I wonder what Ascot Road station will be called? Ascot Road is a terrible
name, because people will go there for the Ascot Racecourse. Watford
Holywell was the best I could come up with, or perhaps Whippendell.
