I was very much aware of the unfortunate accident last year.
Interestingly though, I understand that funding has been agreed between the state of Bavaria government, National Government and selected contractors to proceed at 1.85 billion euros. Suppose it might fall on its face yet, but again those Germans.........all things being equal I should expect it to be up and running by 2014.
Anyway well of topic here I guess....its LHR forum. Sorry.
