Major costs in redeveloping the station for electrification.
edit for their reasons for proposed closure,
Network Rail has concluded that Breich station should be closed for the following reasons:-
• The patronage at the station is expected to remain low
• The ongoing operating costs of the station represent poor value for money to the public
• The closure of the station will have very little impact on rail users
• The option to retain the station has a (negative) Net Present Value3 of -£1.7 million based on renewal costs avoided alone
• The option to retain the station once the electrification scheme has been completed has a (negative) Net Present Value of -£3.09m. The closure will avoid station rebuild costs of £1.4 million associated with the Shotts Electrification Programme.
