Default Croxley Rail Link hits the sidings

But why is it so expensive?


It requires a tall 500m viaduct which has to cross various obstacles,
rebuilding another mile and a half of track and building two new tube
stations, which go for £10-20m each. £95m is about right compared to
similar schemes, and it could be worse - the ELL extension is costing
£900m (which has about the same amount of new route) and rebuilding 3
miles of North London Line is costing £400m (with no new structures).
