Oxford to Cambridge rail route.

tim... remarked: It's government kit flying This line has as much chance of being privately funded as the A14 improvements did. Not necessarily. It could go ahead if the government guarantees the revenues, which is effectively what happens with PFI deals. well reading a few more newspaper reports, it does seem that the plan isn't necessarily for it to be *funded* by the private sector (as some of the initial headlines proclaimed), but merely for the private sector to be in control of the build and operation. But I still suspect that if it turns out to need 100% funding from HMG, it wont go ahead. I remain convinced that there is little demand for significant local journeys on the route and no strategic need for the Eastern section. Did you mean "Central section"? The Eastern section (Cambridge to Norwich) already exists. -- Roland Perry |
