Croxley Link Progress?
"Peter Lawrence" wrote in message
... 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. |

There wouldn't be any point in doing it otherwise. There was quite a good article on the subject in MR December edition, complete with a half-decent map. I still don't see how this excellent project can take a further five years. Regards Jonathan |

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...

Not *on top* of the canal, mind, though there is an interesting and rather impressive 3-mode bridge crossing between the two, where the M6 crosses the railway as it crosses the Leeds-Liverpool canal all at the same point.

At least two stations on the route from Gla QS to Edinburgh have plaques directing to the Forth and Clyde Canal. One, at least, reminds you to bring your own torch ;-) |
