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.

Yes, Watford LU will almost certainly be abandoned.

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.

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...

Appley Bridge or Gathurst? 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 ;-)

Smethwick Galton Bridge (with superb panoramic views of Telford's Galton
Bridge itself and of the man-made Galton Valley, a masterpiece of hard

And much easier to use, now the trains don't have slam doors.
