These prices are insane. How could reinstating Lea Bridge station on
land which is presumably still owned by the railway cost as much as
buying 14 average London houses and the land they stand on?


Perhaps start by costing in the passenger lifts? Adding them to an old
station can easily cost around a million with ancillary works included.


Yes, I assume all new stations have to be "accessible", meaning step-free
access to all platforms? There are also presumably more stringent rules
about access roads, bus stops, etc.
