Support new Vicarage Road station being named 'Vicarage Road Station'
Plans are proceeding on the Croxley Rail Link, which will see two new tube stations open in West Watford. One at Vicarage Road, the other at Ascot Road. London Underground has the final say in the naming of stations and has indicated their preference is to name the station on Vicarage Road 'West Watford'. Watford's Elected Mayor, Dorothy Thornhill, is calling on the people of Watford to back her calls for the station to be named 'Vicarage Road'.
Dorothy says: "West Watford covers a much wider area, when Vicarage Road is an area within its own right and is most well-known locally, regionally and nationally as the home of Watford Football club. London Underground will be making their decision at a board meeting on 31st July - help me persuade them to get Vicarage Road put on the tube map!"

London Underground bureaucrats are trying to bury our local identity under a generic name that ignores our history. We are surging toward 1,000 signatures and need you to blast this link out to everyone you know right now so they cannot ignore our demand.

Everyone knows it as Vicarage Road. Calling it West Watford is just confusing and unnecessary. Common sense please.
Why do they always try to overcomplicate things? stick to the actual street name so people can find their way around.
Vicarage Road. Simple as.
RIDICULOUS to try and change the name just to suit the underground board. Stick to the history of the area.
Vicarage Road is iconic because of the stadium. It should be on the map!

Keep it local. Vicarage Road is the only name that makes sense for people actually living here.
