Still it is not looking good for this project. Taking the Met. Into
Watford Junction would provide a very useful interchange. Diverting
the Overground to Rickmansworth would be an interesting option.

For very few people. After all, the Harrow area and the Wembley area
already have services to Watford Junction.

The only point I can see in a Croxley Link would be a diesel version to
allow the entire Chiltern Amersham service to be diverted to Euston, so
that the Chiltern mainline could run more trains into Marylebone. But a
curve from Northwick Park to the "slow" OLE lines at South Kenton would
probably do a similar job much more cheaply.
