From Watford Observer 28th December 2007
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.

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.
