Crossrail tunnelling to start shortly

There is ample space for a worthwhile retail, office and residential development. Is it not the local, or county, authority that exercise eminent domain (compulsory purchase)? TfF, Network rail are the beneficiaries? Too US-centric an assumption. Recall that the trad means of constructing a new UK railway was to promote a private act of parliament which allowed compulsory purchase as needed by a new or existing company. So it might be TfL or Network Rail or a specially set up company, under court and Dept of Transport supervision. Same for a pipeline or a toll motorway. -- Mike D |
