Default Huge Tunnel across Chiltern Line at Gerrards Cross

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?

Boycott TESCO the bast***ds!

"The store has taken on a pest controller to deal with rats and foxes which
live on the cutting's embankments and are expected to flee to nearby gardens
as their habitat is converted into a tunnel."

How would YOU like that?

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.
