There has been a campaign to run the Abbey Flyer into Euston in the
past, but it always ran into the problem that Virgin needed the train
paths, whereas St Albans already has a direct route into London
(albeit very overloaded)


There has to be room on the slow lines, as LM are increasing the
service in December with some Watford shuttles that could easily run
through from St Albans if the infrastructure was sorted.


Where will this tram be maintained? =A0How will it reach that location?
If it is to reach Bletchley, it will have to be 25 kV Ac, or pulled by
another motive power unit.

My best guess is that these issues have been considered.

Are you mad? No they'd load it on to an Alley's low loader every night
for the move to Bletchley depot. Come one now man, get a grip of
yourself. We can't have rolling stock being moved from location to
another by rail!! Its just not British!


You missed an earler post which said that room for a depot had been
identified at st Albans. However the official answer now is that this
is up to the contractor to sort out. I would have throught that
Watford or the former North Watford sidings, had beter potential depot
space.
