"Before the final decision on funding is made, more work needs to be
done on the project to improve the robustness of the plans and cost
estimates, and to maintain the opportunity of delivering the project to
the planned timetable. Therefore my rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State
for Transport has written to Network Rail today authorising £30m funding
for project planning and design development."
