Building now, without most peoples attention but with an obvious

backhander,
most likely to be for John Precscott, is the night work going on there

right
now. As there's no space in the town of Gerrards Cross for any more

shopping
why not build a roof across the cutting towards the station there and use
that for Tesco instead plus a car park! great idea, whos getting

handsomely
paid for 'arranging' that with Chiltern Rail I ask?

This has been covered in some detail on uk.railway and with photographs on
alt.binaries.pictures.rail. Nobody has arranged it with 'Chiltern Rail'
(sic), as it is a Network Rail project and nothing to do with the train
operating company (Chiltern Railways) other than that their possible future
operational requirements have been taken into account.

All of the other applications for land development in the GX area were
refused by the local council, with the exception of development within the
cutting, due to environmental concerns.
