	ABFLY - The Abbey Flyer Users Group - Home
		The 'Abbey Flyer' is the colloquial name for the 6.5 mile branch line railway that runs between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey stations in Hertfordshire.
		It was under these uncertain skies that ABFLY was formed - with the express intention of securing the future of the branch line as a heavy-rail operation.
		Thankfully the planned guided bus scheme was quietly dropped, and the perseverance of the group is now starting to pay dividends, with the line being selected in 2004 as a 'pilot project' in the Strategic Rail Authority's 'Community Rail Development strategy'.
