The station has cost something like £11-12m.


What a phenomenal amount, when it looks like the old platforms were
resurfaced.

Mitcham Eastfields was built with brand new 170m platforms for 6 million
in 2008, although I don't know if that sum includes the realignment of
Grove Road which took place a few years earlier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lea_Br...ailway_station suggests that
the station was planned to cost 6.5 million in 2013... that frog boiled
so fast I'm surprised it didn't jump.
