So, rather than answer questions from a responder to your blog you anally, and with your usual style of playing the man rather than the ball, pick apart one point about the cost of one part of a massively over-budget, poorly planned, very late, project. A project that still doesn't match the original intention to deliver a 140mph railway.
But because the Trent Valley four tracking may have come in on budget you want to highlight it as an example of all that is good with large railway projects?
TV4 was nowhere near on time though. The second lot of TWAO's were submitted in 2003 following Railtrack's demise. The June 2003 SRA review of the WCML modernisation project projected TV4 would be completed by December 2007. It was brought into use in September 2008.
So yes it was late. Porkies being told by both sides it seems.
