Or the £18million promised by Ken through TfL's five-year investment
programme? I think not.

The most recent cost quoted for the Croxley Link was on the TfL site
and was £65m (2004 prices). I can't see how, even with construction
inflation, that the last two years would have seen a 50%+ increase in
this figure. Take away Ken's £18m from the last available price and
we're back to around £50million.

Put another eway, it's about half the cost of a white-elephant guided
busway in Cambridgeshire... ;-)

This came up about a year ago and the price quoted was ninety something
million pounds, certainly not £65m. That was construction costs, I
assume. I have no idea what the source of funds was, ie did it include
any beneifits from redeveopment of Watford Met station.
I don't see what Ken's (not that it is his anyway) £18m has to do with
it.If it costs say £95m then it cost £95m, the fact that £18 come
from TfL or the EU for that matter doesn't affect what you are getting
for the best part of £100m.
