Well for £95m actually which makes it an incredibley expensive bridge and
mile of track.

Kevin

What WAS that price for a mile of motorway?

Roads are a hell of a lot cheaper in England and elsewhere. For the very
high cost of rail, it only carries about 5% of the people in England.
Brits are really ****ed with all rail building draining money from roads
along with causing high congestions and the crumbling of the roads. Go tell
them your opinions at uk.transport and see how they attack you with your
highly destructive opinions.

Go and ask carheads what they think about rail investments? Wow! Then
for a real laugh, go and ask Ian Paisley what he thinks about the Pope.

Actually, quite a few car enthusiasts on misc.transport.road both
support investment in rail AND some USE rail passenger service.

Incidentally, one of the stations in question is behind my odl school,
chaps.
