provide the main passenger load for the branch. The decline in passenger
traffic became very marked when Sun Printers closed down.


Indeed and whilst that's true, workforces for both Scammells, next to
West Watford, and Dickinson's Croxley Mills, a short walk southwestwards
from Croxley Green were also fed by the branch; and the Industrial
Estate south of the line also generated a little passenger traffic from
both those stations.


Scammells and Dickinsons have both gone from there as well. Probably no-one
else has the number of staff signing on at one time to justify any rail
service.
