Watford Hospital tube station is a planned railway station in Watford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. It is to serve Vicarage Road stadium and the Watford General Hospital campus. Alternative names proposed for the station were Vicarage Road and Watford General Hospital.[1] It is to be served by the Metropolitan Line as part of the Croxley Rail Link project.
Site [edit]
The station will be located next to Vicarage Road in Watford, to the west of the former Watford Stadium railway station (which was located just to the east of Vicarage Road) and to the east of the former Watford West railway station (which was located to the west of the new station site, off Tolpits Lane).[1][2][3][4][5] Designs for the new station, and others on the link, have been prepared by Acanthus LW Architects.[6]
The platforms at both former stations will be removed or modified to accommodate the two new tracks.[7]
