    Thameslink, Crossrail, HS2 - not exactly delivered smoothly to time and budget. So a genuine question: did British Rail do any better on large projects such as the WCML?

      If they were fully costed, the cost of the assessment alone would make it uneconomic

      Thanks, everyone! I had forgotten the Channel Tunnel link started in BR days. I loved Orion's comment on costings and will now quote it in all sorts of non-railway contexts!

      Let's face it we don't need hs2, all it will do is make the south east even more crowded and can we really afford it!
