Default Metropolitan Line Extension

The East London Line extension, the Docklands light railway, the
Thames Gateway bridge and the Metropolitan line extension are all set
to benefit.

Anybody know what Ken Livingstone is on about?

Watford Junction. He's on about Watford Junction.

I agree that 'extension' is a slightly fanciful term though.

'Redirection to a station slightly closer to London, already with fast
services to London, that was previously served by the Underground anyway' is
more accurate.

Realistically, it's hard to see the new service being useful to anyone
outside of the immediate Watford/Bushey/Rickmansworth/Chalfonts/Amersham
areas.

And given that they are outside of Greater London, and not Ken's
responsibility anyway, it's hard to see why he'd mention it at all.
