This week, Herts County Council voted to approve the submitted plan and formally submit the funding bid, the so-called Best And Final Bid.
Won't be long now until the final announcement about funding. It's due "before the end of December".

I just spoken with Leanne from the Croxley Link project and they are very upbeat about this.
Lets hope it does get approved this time.

I'm not quite so worried about the CRL now, given the change of heart regarding the selling off of the current Met sidings and station - virtually an impossibility since the Grade II listing. The irreversible loss of that terminus & line has receded so the possibility of service alterations to keep the Met in use is within the realm of possible.
Also, I've seen somewhere that they plan to reuse some of the Met station infrastructure at the new stations, e.g. the gateline. Now IIRC the Met uses pneumatic gates, but the installation of a compressor room at the new stations is above and beyond what is required, given that the new gatelines I've seen recently have all been electric. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

its odd that the met line was not extended into the town centre in the first place,the old croxley green br station is just as debatable looking no more then planks and scaffolding.remembering last time the rails were severed and the circumstances of closure were controversial. www.abandonedstations.org.uk/Croxley_Green_line_1.html |
