Default (Croxley) Rail link cost spirals

The rail link, which will extend the Metropolitan Line into Watford
Junction, was priced at £66m in 2006.

Just one year later, the scheme is now estimated to cost close to
£150m, if completed by 2014.


One has to suspect the accuracy of the rest of the reporting, when it is
clear that the journalist can't successfully subtract 2006 from 2008.
