Default Future is bleak for Croxley Rail Link

From Watford Observer Friday, January 23, 2004

This week, the Department of Transport (DFT) agreed
to consider funding the £97million project but only if Tube
bosses back it by paying about 25 per cent of the overall cost.
But London Underground has flatly refused to
stump up any cash until the Government does the same.


Am I reading this right? Government won't give money until LU does, and LU
won't give money until government does?

London Underground said it would hold urgent talks with
the Government to discuss how to resolve the impasse.


Let's hope a third party with a brain is also present.
