Sorry, what? Why the hell would Chiltern be planning that? Even if Chiltern did that, we'd return to the fact that there isn't capacity at Baker Street or Marylebone to add more trains.

Oh and up until around Watford the line is already mostly quadrupled (fast and slow lines).

Ooh, I'm sure the residents of St. Mary Bourne will be excited by their brand new station!

Oh and you're talking utter rubbish - Chiltern are not and will not be building any more platforms at Marylebone, and nor will they be quadrupling any lines, and why on Earth would you want 8tph going to Watford just because it has two stations? Just utter idiocy.

A bus service from the site of Watford Met to Watford Junction or to the hospital is more than sufficient to deal with passengers who are now further from a station into London.

There is no point continuing to service Watford Met when the whole point of the exercise is to run the line to somewhere more useful, and where passengers actually want to go (Watford Junction, and High Street).

Yes because in the whole of Watford, there is not enough demand to fill 8tph. I'm sure you can easily walk or catch the bus to Watford Junction.

He doesn't do anything for himself. The geezer has probably only just realised the internet isn't for PendoPorn.

Yeah, and when people told you to look it up yourself, a simple google search will take all of 20 seconds to do. Stop asking us for everything, go out and have a look yourself.

To simplify, stop asking questions that only you want an answer to and find it out for yourself.

We are not going to do your research for you.
