  • Watford Station Closure Panel

    Watford Station Closure Panel

    Watford Station Closure Panel Document L Final Report, 28 08 2012 Author: Vincent Stops Final report of the consideration by London TravelWatch of the proposed closure and discontinuance of services to and from Watford station 1 Purpose of report 1.1 To set out the background and process undertaken as part of the consideration of the proposed closure and discontinuance of services to and from Watford station. 1.2 To summarise London Underground Limited’s (LUL’s) case for the closure, the concerns of passengers and the conclusions of Panel members consideration of the issues. 1.3 To report to the Mayor of London any hardship that would result from the closure, should it proceed. 1.4 To report to the Mayor of London measures that would alleviate hardship resulting from the closure, should it proceed. 1.5 To report any other conclusions from London TravelWatch’s consideration of the closure. 2 Background 2.1 Watford station is one of the northern terminal stations on the Metropolitan line. There is a long-standing aspiration to divert the Metropolitan line, via the former Croxley Green branch line, to terminate at Watford Junction station. This would entail a short section of new railway being built to connect the Metropolitan line to the former Croxley Green branch line. The Link would have two new accessible stations at Ascot Road and Vicarage Road and connect to Watford Junction station via Watford High Street station. The project is known as the Croxley Rail Link. See Appendices A & B below for schematics of the existing and proposed Metropolitan line.
  • The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line

    The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line

    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAIN SERVICES ON THE MET AND GC LINE by Eric Stuart (Readers may find reference to the Four-Tracking article in the July 2018 issue of Underground News helpful) After the Great Central (GC) arrived at Quainton Road and the service south thereof became established, both the GC and the Metropolitan Railway (Met.) provided services. However, the personalities at the heads of the two companies did not enjoy the best of relationships. Matters came to a head when a GC train crashed when failing to reduce speed over the (then) reverse curve into Aylesbury station in 1904. About that time, both the leaders retired and a period of better relations between the companies began. On 2 April 1906, the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway (MGCJR) was created. This latter took over the lines of the Metropolitan Railway north and west of Harrow South Junction, with the exception of the branch to Uxbridge. These included the main line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Verney Junction and the branch from Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham. The MGCJR was created under the terms of the Metropolitan & Great Central Railway Act, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1905. At the same time, the Great Central and Great Western Joint Railway was formed, covering the lines south of Aylesbury via Princes Risborough to Northolt Junction. This was the result of a new line that aided the GC by partly avoiding congestion on the Met. and also giving the Great Western a shorter route to Birmingham1. One curiosity was that a Joint Committee was set up to manage a new Aylesbury station, jointly owned by two joint railways! Some points on terminology: The new line was commonly called just ‘The Joint Line’ and, even in later LT days, some staff still belonged to a particular class that made them feel superior to others2.

    1 a Report by Sawtag Opposing

    A REPORT BY SAWTAG OPPOSING THE CLOSURE OF WATFORD METROPOLITAN STATION AND ITS ASSOCIATED ROUTE. ALL OF THESE ARE TO BE SAFEGUARDED UNDER EXTRACTED GOVERNMENT POLICY. This report opposes the closure of Watford (Metropolitan Line) Station on three major grounds. 1 Retaining peak, football and special traffic, and positively building up traffic. Both the Metropolitan Line and WCML/Watford Suburban Lines serve nearby Wembley Stadium extremely well already. Also, train portion working must be advanced to best practice elsewhere. 2 Facilitating the forming of an extended London Overground network, through the extracted Government Policy of better protection, critical in developing rail infrastructure and interchange. 3 Essential safeguards are to be put in place to protect the truncated alignment through Watford (Metropolitan Line) Station. Firstly , it is essential the latter station is retained at least for continued peak hours services, in view of the steadily increasing peak and general use of both the London Metropolitan Underground and Network Rail West Coast Main Line centered system. Safeguarding is also essential in order to serve during the interim for Watford Football Club traffic attending the Vicarage Road Stadium. Pending the establishment of a new station; immediately South of the Stadium on the new Croxley Link Line; Watford (Met) Station is to be kept open for both peak and Football traffic with requisite direct connecting buses. These connecting buses will run from a retained Watford Metropolitan Station direct to the Stadium. There was a railway triangle immediately South of the Stadium, and Croxley Moor alternatives (reference no. 8) to the Croxley Link Project; investigated both linking the Rickmansworth LNWR branch corridor west to the Rickmansworth (Met) Main Line towards Aylesbury, and generally reinstating the pre-Beeching railway triangle inter alia.
  • PETITION: Get Croxley Rail Link Back on Track

    PETITION: Get Croxley Rail Link Back on Track

    PETITION: Get Croxley Rail Link Back on Track Sign our petition for the UK Government to restart construction on the Croxley Rail Link The UK Government has pledged a 'New Deal for Britain' to deliver vital infrastructure. In his speech on June 30th the Prime Minister set out plans to 'build back better' in the wake of coronavirus and has pledged £5bn to accelerate infrastructure projects. The Croxley Rail Link was first approved in 2011 by then Lib Dem Transport Minister Norman Baker. However, there has been significant frustration within the local community that the plan to extend the Metropolitan Railway was effectively shelved in 2019 by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan after initial works had been completed. The MLX project has already utilised funds from Hertfordshire County Council and we believe the current situation effectively wastes this public money. We, the undersigned, call for the Government to allocate sufficient funds to restart and complete the Metropolitan Line Extension project and realise the planned benefits to Croxley Green and surrounding area.
