Maybe they have sussed that there isn't really the local will for this
link.

Depends where 'local' is. For those of us out to the west or north-west of
Watford (and probably the south-west as well) a direct link to Watford
Junction and West Coast Main Line services would be warmly welcomed. The
long trek from Watford Met, across Cassiobury Park and down Rickmansworth
Road, is exceedingly tiresome!

Ask the general populace of SW Herts about what they thought of the
Croxley rail link and I doubt that 95% would know what you were
talking about. Probabley need to make that 98%.
Bearing in mind that the bulk of WCML users will be business users
they will be using taxi or private car to Watford Junc anyway so I
don't think that they will be too bothered.
