Croxley Rail Link (8): Vicarage Road looking north-east In July 2013 The Secretary of State for Transport issued a Transport and Works Act Order for the proposed Croxley Rail Link scheme, diverting the current London Underground Metropolitan Line branch to Watford from a point east of Croxley station and extending it to Watford Junction station via Watford High Street station, with the closure of the original Watford station to passenger traffic. Vicarage Road would be the site of the proposed new Watford Hospital station on the line. This is the view looking north-eastwards towards the bridge carrying the road over the original 1912-built former L&NWR's Croxley Branch, the trackbed of which the new line would use.
