  • 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.

  • 50 Years Ago – a Postscript
    50 YEARS AGO – A POSTSCRIPT METROPOLITAN MODERNISATION Whilst some of us will recall the late-1950s and early 1960s as the period “when it all happened”, there was a lot going on much earlier. Here is a selection of what happened, details being obtained from the Traffic Circulars of the time. Some items may not be directly relevant but nevertheless are included for interest, if only that London Transport were bringing the Metropolitan Line up to date and ‘in line’ with the rest of the network. Date Brief details 02.01.50 “Stop-and-Proceed” abolished north of Harrow-on-the-Hill and all signals, semi- automatic and automatic, provided with signal post telephones.

  • 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.

  • Verney Junction — Bletchley Branch of the L.N.W.R
    Brackley Central Station just after closure, looking south through the arch shown 67 years earlier on page 164. The station building on the right is still (2008) extant, but everything else has been swept away. The footbridge crosses the north-bound 'down' line to give access to the stairs leading down to the single 'island' platform, on each end of which stand water tanks. At the town's south end Brackley also had a station on the Banbury — Verney Junction — Bletchley branch of the L.N.W.R. The two stations were known, logically enough, respectively as the Top Station and the Bottom Station. The new line crossed over the branch line about a mile further on. Finmere station followed (about a mile from that village, but later to do good business with Stowe School). Calvert Station was reached shortly after the new line crossed the Oxford — Verney Junction — Bletchley branch line of the L.N.W.R., and about five miles further on the junction was made at Quainton Road. Not one of the railway lines mentioned now exists, except for the West Coast main line at Rugby. For reasons of economy, the G.C.'s smaller stations, including all the ones mentioned, were constructed with a single 'island' platform instead of the traditional two platform affairs which have one for each track. At an 'island' station the two tracks diverged, with a single platform lying between them. This gave problems of access, so that a staircase usually led down to platform level from a bridge above the line (as, for example, at Rugby and Brackley) although at Woodford there was a subway with steps leading up.

  • 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.

  • London Transport Railways
    London Transport Railways The following selection of images is of the stock displayed in the “Underground Centenary” exhibition held at Neasden Depot, which we visited on Saturday 25th May 1963...... Sadly and inexplicably the Metropolitan Railway F class 0-6-2T locomotive L52 featured here was scrapped soon afterwards, but most of the other items, or examples of them were preserved at the later London Transport Museum, on the Bluebell and Worth Valley Railways, and elsewhere. In 1963 and for about 10 years afterwards, there was still plenty of vintage interest to be seen out and about on the London Transport lines. The picture (right) shows a train of Metropolitan F stock at New Cross Gate, East London Line, on 17th August 1963...... and here is an old G stock motor car trailing a District line train out of Richmond station on a very wet and misty morning of 4th April 1964...... On that day we travelled extensively around the extremities of the system on a “Combined Rover” day ticket. At the former Great Eastern Railway station of Woodford, Essex we were surprised to find an “automatic” or “driverless” train trial in progress using one of the experimental units, on the Hainault Loop line. These were the first tests of the system later used on the new Victoria Line. Note the aerial on the front of the cab, and temporary wiring...... The weather did not improve as we ventured on to Epping, then to Ongar....... The latter still retaining its air of a country branch terminus despite the use of modern stock (right) A contrast between station architectures is seen at Cockfosters (below left), an iconic LT 1930s design, and High Barnet (right) almost unaltered from its origins as a Great Northern Railway branch terminus...

  • The Saving Of
    THE SAVING OF L44 (METROPOLITAN RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE – NO.1) by Jim Stringer It was the winter of 1962-63, which, as those able to recall, was a winter which was noted for its heavy and prolonged falls of snow, which started late on Christmas day (1962) and, if I recall, lasted almost through to March. I was in the third year of my apprenticeship with London Transport (Underground) and having just completed a placement at the Lille Bridge Steam Shed, was now stationed out at Neasden Depot for a period of six months. Working under Tube Trains in that weather was no fun, with the shutters open at either end of the sheds, the wind, and what it brings, blew mercilessly through the pitted roads where my fitter and I were engaged in changing some piece of defective equipment or another on an ‘F’ or ‘T’ stock train. The only heating in those days were cast iron coal/wood-burning stoves which stood at either end of the roads – which were only really effective if you stood right on top of them when they were glowing red. So it was inevitable that to keep warm I should make my way over to the Steam Shed where at least they kept the doors and shutters closed and the heat from the locomotives together with their stoves guaranteed to keep me warm. At that time London Underground still had a small fleet of steam locomotives amongst which were a couple of 0-6-0 Hunslet Locos which formerly belonged to the District Railway, L30 & L31 – (see below).
