The new construction would be relatively minimal - a link from the
existing line near Baldwins Lane across Watford Road to reach the
existing alignment across the Grand Union Canal (the bridge still
being existent) and on east. I'm not au fait with the exact proposals
for this link, and I'm sure some people would complain (particularly
so if the pub on the roundabout gets it), but the new link is of such
a small distance that I don't think it would lead to any particularly
orchestrated campaign against it.

The alignment to connect directly is built on and there's also a major
height difference to overcome. The link will therefore start further
east along the Met and join the Croxley branch south/east of the
canal. It's a quarter of a mile, roughly the same distance as
Shoreditch ELL (RIP) to the Broad Street Viaduct.

That aerial photography shows no buildings that I can see, not of any
substance anyway, on the new railway alignment.
