I think Holland Kaye has totally lost the plot or been on the sherry. I know its the panto season but these figures are beyond belief.
Can anybody make sense of this as I think he has had a nervous breakdown.
Out of the blue we have a
PR puff piece which mentions supporting infrastructure but inexplicably signals a total reliance on rail, mway infrastructure appears to have been brushed aside ?
But with regards to rail even the figures of £3bn are by any stretch woefully inadequate for all the extensions tunneling, platforms and stations.
You will be lucky to get a signal box for £3bn !
As for timescales these are equally absurd, its 5 years AFTER the RW opens.
There is not a cat in hell's chance of optimising the benefits of the extra capacity on day1 of runway opening if you cannot then increase traffic viz viz via supporting infrastructure?
As for road and the mega re design of the M25, well a magic wand appears to have made this necessity totally disappear
as indeed has the cost.
Bizarre.
