Peter Morgan takes a look at the short lived Watford Stadium halt, and asks was it a white elephant, or innovative solution? It is 1982, and Watford Football Club has reached the top division of English football for the first time, just as football hooliganism has become an epidemic.

The design of the Croxley Rail Link has been described as a portakabin on stilts by a politician who is concerned that the district is becoming a guinea pig for the development. Three Rivers District councillors discussed the conditions of the rail link, which looks to connect Croxley station to Watford Junction, via two new stations and Watford High Street. While permission for the link has already been granted by the government, the district council has been charged with the task of approving certain conditions, particularly those relating to the viaduct. Three Rivers will be considering three of the 18 conditions, with neighbouring Watford Borough Council looking at the remaining ones.
