Plans to start Croxley Rail Link services in 2016


The formal (Railways Act 2005) closure notice for Watford LUL station has
now been published. Any objections must be in by 12 April, though actual
closure will not take place until the Croxley Link is open, expected in
2016.

Why didn't they run a parliamentary "replacement bus service",
instead? It worked for network southeast, with the croxley line.


That was a tactic to avoid having to run trains, not something that
applies in the case of the Croxley Link except when work requires it.


It avoids having to run trains to Watford (cassiobury park) Station.
And especially avoids having to pay lip service to criticism from the
locals.
