Default No funding for Croxley link
Forwarded FYI from the Watford Observer :

Rail scheme fails in bid for funding

http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/new..._ funding.php

THE long-awaited Croxley Rail scheme failed in its bid for Government
funding, it was announced yesterday (Thursday 18 Dec. 2003).

The Department of Transport said that the £97million scheme was still under
review and they were waiting for more details to come through from
Hertfordshire County Council.

The news will come as a blow to campaigners and passenger groups alike.

If built, it would have allowed commuters to board the Metropolitan line at
Watford Junction, West Watford and Watford High Street, meaning quicker
access into London.
