This is not a dont deal, Craig Richmond has said so himself. It rests on the private sector funding to be secured, and its a lot of money to have to secure.
I know there is the planned Rossington Rail Port (is that still in the pipeline?), but does that mean the route would be built in a piecemeal fashion?
As for road links to LBA, would that not be a significantly larger project due to the distance from motorways and the topography of the area?
