23c Another view looking towards Croxley Green Junction from nearer Colne Junction. The vegetation was cleared in the summer for no apparent reason. Mind you, it does help to provide a clearer view of the old formation!

From Andrew Head at 2007-01-19 11:42:05 : The vegetation was cleared to take soill samples in preparation for the earthworks to be removed. The alignment will form part of a new rioad that will link with the A4008 Gyratory near bushes Arches (B&Q) with Watford Footbakll Club and a rebuilt Watford General Hospital. As a result the former shed site and Power station site will be redeveloped as a health industries based industrial park that will compliment the new hospital.
From Dave Warby at 2007-01-21 20:37:12 : That clears that up then! Thanks for that information Andrew. Just out of interest, will the Croxley Green branch formation that has recently fallen into disuse be threatened by the proposed road works?
