With constant talk of improvement works to the town centre and the will it/won’t it nature of the Met Line Extension, it is only right that the Mayoral election campaign in Watford will involve transport.

Now Cllr Peter Taylor, the Liberal Democrat candidate for the role, has upped the ante by unveiling grand plans for an app that will streamline this issue.

Noting the potential increase of visitors to Watford – as well as the ever-changing face of public transport – he wants residents to benefit from the latest technology.

An app is a wonderful idea – pretty much everyone now carries a smart phone and these things are often quicker, and more user friendly, when it comes to finding out information.

These apps often show how late trains and buses are running, giving us something else to check while we wait.

We wonder if the app could predict how long it may take before the Met Line Extension finally arrives.
