PenrithBeacon Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hang on! This is just an opinion of one body which doesn't have such a great track record anyway. The first link shows that there are a few issues with this station that should, perhaps, have been resolved before the building was started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2018 Agree they are not fit to represent us. It will be officers involved in this, not elected members. At least the elected members who represent you have voted the funds to build the station. Plenty of other places where that has not happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim.snowdon Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Whose station is it to start with - Network Rail's, as the infrastructure owner, or the County Council, as the Sponsor? Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissRailPassion Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 And £13.5m for single platform? That'll breakdown as £2m for construction and the rest in consultancy fees. How many 4 bedroom houses could be built for that? A small street or close of pleasant family homes? Why does everything NR touches cost so much? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'll bet a substantial amount of that is the cost of the possessions to build the thing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
