Default Rail link scheme a priority

Whilst I'm sure that the people of Watford (other than the affected
nimbys) will rejoice, one can't help wondering if this august body has
all its faculties in working order. There are umpteen other East of
England PT projects that should be greater priorities, like increasing
capacity on the ECML, and upgrading cross-country links, especially for
freight flows from the ports.

Its funny, last year I was posted a message enquiring what the people
of Watford and Herts would get for approx £90m of expenditure and now
it seems that it is only £66m. I still can't see what is going to cost
£66m but it might be helpful if they could get their estimates a bit
more accurate. I bet if the final estimate is £90m the the final cost
will be £150m.
