[edit] A "Watford Central"?

I've just removed the following text:

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. In the 1950s this was the Grange Furniture Store and the original underground station canopy was still in evidence. 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.

Now I was brought up in the 1950s on in Watford and knew the High Street at the end very well into the 60s and 70s, and there was no "original underground station canopy" there (for a start no station = no canpopy!) and the putative alignment from the Met station would have been through Cassiobury Park, which would never have happened either. I can't find anything online to substantiate even a part of this text, so removed it to here for the moment. --AlisonW (talk) 01:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I shall restore the text which AlisonW removed, as there is a perfectly good reference and photograph of the lost station in London's Lost Railways [1] .--91.106.13.251 (talk) 14:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
