No it is a commuter town like all those other stations and with MK heading for a 500,000 population it is not inconceivable that people will use a train to commute there.
Point taken about Harrow but I think my point is valid for the rest.
I've worked in MK for 20 years - in that time among my various colleagues I can think of only 1 person who lived in High Wycombe and 1 who lived in Amersham.
When you get down to Watford and Rickmansworth you're competing with the London job market where salaries and employer choices are much greater - there isn't, and I doubt very much there will be, a flow from Rickmansworth to MK for an hour plus journey (which it would be via Amersham) when you can get to Central London in under 30 mins or to Heathrow in 45 mins (using the 724).
Just because MK is heading for a 500k population, doesn't mean it will have jobs to attract people from 40+ miles away - the aim is for people to move there for jobs, not commute that distance.
