I know what a step plate junction is, but they are still more
expensive than putting in the junction tunnel at the correct location

was done at Heathrow when the Heathrow Express was first built.


So put in a step plate junction, a very short section of tunnel, plus
the trackwork. We're talking about small sums of money about which I
have no wish to argue.
