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.


Mitcham easfileds cost £6m (so Lea Bridge seems cheap) and oer 1m was
for the footbridge and lift

Corby cost £8.3m

although wiki implies there was road and car park building as well
