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.

This one has been around for years. Any progress recently?

Somewhat - TfL and Herts CC came to an agreement over funding which sees
TfL providing £18m from their ten-year plan funds, but they're still
waiting for some remaining funding from the DfT. The project "only"
costs £65m so hopefully that won't be too hard to secure. Then Herts CC
& LUL should put in a Transport & Works Act order, and if it gets
approved (hopefully by 2007) then trains could be running in 2010.
