When I was a child Bakerloo services ran to the Junction, and there were
still a few peak hour services in the early seventies. I'm not suere
why these stopped.

Others have answered this question in relation to the Bakerloo, but it might
help to point out that what Jack was referring to by the words "Junction
ASAP" is the Croxley Link proposal, which will allow Met line trains to
access Watford Junction from Rickmansworth. In particular this would be
useful for links from the north-western outer suburbs (both north and south
of Rickmansworth) to connect with the WCML at Watford Junction and avoid
having to go via London.
