LU have announced that Herts CC have made a 'final' submission to the
DfT for funding for this project. The total cost is £65M (or ws last
year) and TfL is contributing £18M of this.

Is there a map showing the route of the link between the LU branch to
Watford LU and the disused Railtrack branch to Croxley Green? I presume that
Watford LU will be taken out of use, in the same way that Charing Cross
(Jubilee) is now redundant after the extension to Westminster and beyond.



Nice mao, but could someone refresh my memory.....

Is the old Croxley Green branch station located at where it says
"potential development site"??

No. The old station site is the far side of the canal, near the junction
between Watford Road and Baldwin's Lane:

I like the way that Ascot road is shown as a Rail-Canal interchange
station. Can't think of too many others in this country, probably
Alvechurch and Bedwyn...

Don't forget Berney Arms (more of a broad), Berkhamstead, Linlithgow
(about as far as Bedwyn), and Kintbury.

No. It was across the canal, with entrance from Watford Road. Some
remains of the final wooden platform can still be seen.

The track and lineside cabling are still there as well.

Charing Cross station may no longer be used but the branch seems in daily
use for reversing trains that terminate at Green Park. Anyone know how
much that is timetabled or only in response to disruptions like last
week's?

IIRC there used to be two trains per day booked to run down the branch and
reverse, plus any out-of-course reversals.
