Class 508 train at Watford High Street
The erstwhile franchisee, Silverlink, has operated older rolling stock of classes 508 (as seen here) and 313 on this line. With the transfer of the line to TfL, new rolling stock has been ordered and this should be seen in early 2009. The new trains will be of class 378 and will be a considerable improvement on what is on offer at present. There will also be an increase of frequency, and it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Bakerloo trains will also be re-extended to Watford Junction.

Watford High Street station, exterior
View southward at Lower High Street, towards Bushey, Harrow and London on the railway. Built originally by the LNWR, Watford Junction - Rickmansworth/Croxley Green, LNWR electric trains after 1917: from 1922 LNWR electric trains also ran via Bushey & Oxhey to London (Euston/Broad Street), London Electric (Bakerloo Line) trains from Elephant & Castle having been extended from Queens Park. From 1926-27 the Rickmansworth (Church Street) and Croxley Green branches were electrified, but the Rickmansworth electric service ceased in 3/52, freight from 1/67; a service on the Croxley Green branch lasted until 3/96, but is planned to be revived in the form of the Croxley Link, substituting in part the ex-Metropolitan line from Moor Park to Watford (Met.).
