An open letter regarding Croxley Rail link

Dear Sir,

Following the petition to No 10 Downing Street regarding the advancing
of funding for Croxley Rail Link, the extension of the Metropolitan
Line to Watford Junction station via the disused Croxley Green spur
line and serving Watford FC and the new Community Health Campus, I am
writing to enquire what if anything the MP is currently doing to
support this?

Since Cross party support is vital to allow Herts CC (Con) and Watford
Borough (Lib Dem elected Mayor) to proceed, it is my intention to set
up a cross party lobby group for Croxley Link and to explore all
possible options of keeping Watford Met station open with some form of
either heritage or Diesel service from Chesham or Aylesbury, so as to
prepare the infrastructure for handling a successful World Cup bid for
England at Wembley.

Seven odd years ago, I wrote in this column that the voters of Watford
would decide based on the record. I would urge all politicos to get on
board this initiative before the train for funding leaves.

Yours Sincerely

James Ware
Hillingdon English Democrats
Submitted application to be London Mayor (Con) 2006

I thought he was talking sense until he mentioned 'heritage', 'diesel' and
'world cup'...

Agreed, especially since the economic case for the Croxley Link is
AIUI partly built on closing Watford Met and releasing the land for
housing development.

But presumably not to be confused with the English Democrats for
Hillingdon.

You fail to appreciate that all the visiting Brazilians will stay in
tents in Cassiobury Park next to Watford Met station and will all
expect to be taken to Wembley behind a Deltic.

This noisy Burke could set back the campaign for the Croxley rail link
by years!

Another variation on UKIP ? Apparently some bloke called Gary Bushell
is their candidate for the Mayoralty of Greater London :-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Democrats
which seems to mention desires on the territory of a neighbouring
country, a policy which largely fell out of favour in the rest of
Europe about 1938.

Oh no, it's all the rage in trendsetting New Europe. None of the former
Yugoslavian countries would be seen dead without a claim on someone else's
territory!

Seriously, though, assuming you're talking about Monmouthshire, that's not
an entirely fair description of the situation.
