This project would provide excellent network benefits and open up the commercial centre of Watford to rail access from large parts of north-west London and south Bucks. It suffers for falling between the gaps in public sector responsibility but is backed locally, regionally and in the Government Office for the region. Someone at DfT needs to have their arse kicked, I think, metaphorically speaking of course. I for one hope this project gets the go-ahead. THC My "signature" is on the pettition. I sincerely hope this happens. It will give Metroland residents a direct link to the WCML. I am sure it will save many trips to Euston by way of Euston Square. :-) Ah, but as people will find out at a briefing on Tuesday, from December 2008 VWC will see a serious reduction in calls at Watford Junction. So will the link be needed for that particular purpose. (just a note again here - DfT Rail basically decides on the calling pattern for franchises and wants to push people from Watford onto the new West Midlands franchise semi-fast trains that will serve Watford Jn every hour - before the usual anti-Virgin flames ignite again). However I am personally in favour of restoring the Croxley Rail Link and will sign the petition - even as a Manchester resident! Tony- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thank you! Fortunately DafT decisions are reversible. :-) Adrian |
