AIUI if work has started before PP etc. expires then it can continue.
If you read the report to it's conclusion you will see that the law for
these works is different to PP.
Still it is not looking good for this project. Taking the Met. Into
Watford Junction would provide a very useful interchange.
For very few people. After all, the Harrow area and the Wembley area
already have services to Watford Junction.
The only point I can see in a Croxley Link would be a diesel version to
allow the entire Chiltern Amersham service to be diverted to Euston, so
that the Chiltern mainline could run more trains into Marylebone. But a
curve from Northwick Park to the "slow" OLE lines at South Kenton would probably do a similar job much more cheaply.
