Croxley rail link has been approved by the secretary of state (Railways minister).
It now goes to enquiry and after that Transport anhd works act approval as in England there is no devolution for railway matters (unlike Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland). Transport for London has to find 20-30 million Pounds. This is either from capital it holds, farebox revenue increases or the development of the part of railway line from Croxley - cassiobury that is going to be surplus to use. It may be restricted in the amount it can fund from its Greater London subsidy as the proposed extension is solely outside Greater London.
However Bucks could fund a Aylesbury / Chesham service to Watford Junction using the North curve of Watford Met junction between Moor Park and Rickmansworth. That could generate extra usage for the railway line.
