There are plans and they are costed, what is lacking is the agreement between TfL, DfT and Network Rail as to who pays for it. Wouldn't they be able to hit up the DfT for the cash, or at least a sizeable portion for it, under some rail development scheme? Then TfL and Network Rail could each contribute whatever paltry sum they wanted to.. DfT has already offered to pay for the majority of the work, but is expecting TfL to pay the remaining £20m and importantly take the full risk for any cost overruns. It is the last bit that TfL has problems with as things stand. |
