BackgroundFollowing the cancellation of the Metropolitan Line Extension (MLX) project, and recent work considering alternatives to the MLX, there is a need to now develop a new project for the Watford to Croxley Link (W2CL) between Watford Junction and Croxley because the challenges that the MLX was intended to address remain. The Council are also developing options for a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project, called the HERT, and exploring potential for the Abbey Line through the Restoring Your Railway (RYR) fund. These together with new forms of mobility coming forward means that there is a need to develop potential concept designs and mobility solutions.Tender for Concept Design ServicesThrough this tender process, the Council is seeking to engage multiple suppliers to concurrently and independently develop creative and feasible conceptual designs for potential mobility solutions for the W2CL.
