excerpt from the consultation brochure

As part of the ongoing Croxley rail link consultation leading to Transport and works act submission the following alternative options have been assessed:

Retention of existing Watford terminus and running a split service to Watford Junction.

Reopening the Croxley Green Branch Line and not connecting to the Metropolitan Line

Conversion of the Croxley Green Branch Line to a segregated bus way

Improvements to the existing local bus network

Connecting the rail link to the St Albans Abbey Line and Amersham branch if the Metropolitan Line

Construction of a watford relief road

Tunnelling under Cassionury Park

The preferred scheme continues to offer the greatest benefits whilst remaining financially and operationally viable
