Location and description
The station is in Cassiobury Park Avenue, at the junction with Metropolitan Station Approach, in the Cassiobury area of Watford. It is close to two of the entrances to Cassiobury Park. Despite the name suggesting a central location, it is some distance from Watford town centre compared with the town's other stations, Watford High Street and Watford Junction. It is known locally as "Watford Met" to distinguish it from these and the other Watford stations, which are all operated by National Rail. The station building is typical red-brick and was designed by C. W. Clark. Cassiobury is a residential area of Watford in Hertfordshire, England. ...

History Watford station opened on 4 novemer 1925, as part of the extension of the line from Moor Park, with electrical supply from the Metropolitan Railway, and a train service from the Great Central Railway to London Marylebone operating in the first few months. Although it is the terminus of the branch, it was not planned as such, with an extension to the town centre (Watford Central station) envisaged but never constructed. The original Watford Central station building was in Watford High Street, opposite the junction with Clarendon Road, and has known many guises. A theme bar, the Moon Under Water, now occupies the site. For many years, a bus service ran from Watford station to the High Street. 1925 (MCMXXV) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Watford Junction links
 A platform at Watford tube station For many years, a short branch line from Watford Junction ran to nearby Croxley Green, though passenger usage was low. In 1996, rail services were withdrawn and the line allowed to fall into disuse. The line comes very close to the Metropolitan Line south of Watford and it has often been proposed that there should be a short viaduct to link the two lines to create a through route to Watford Junction. This would lead to the closure of Watford Met, but Watford West station could be given a new exit to provide a near enough service.

This project, although small, has long faced problems with funding. As Watford is outside Greater London, normal sources of funding for the Tube are not available. Hertfordshire County Council do not have railways within their remit and so are unable to supply the funding on their own. However, the County Council, backed by Transport for London, are now leading a combined scheme to build the extension largely from a Government grant; the cost will be about £60m, and should be completed by 2009. TfL have agreed to commit almost £18m to the scheme, and a submission to the Department for Transport has been made asking for a commitment in principle to pay the balance. The DfT's response is still awaited.

It is envisaged that the services on the lines so linked could be further enhanced by using the north-facing junction on the Metropolitan main line north of Moor Park to provide shuttle services between Watford Junction and Amersham, Chesham or even Aylesbury.
