As this is a rumour network:

Apparently a decision on the future of the project is very close to being reached (possibly within the next few weeks).

Future MPA has been forecast to 2035. MR2 until 2011/12 followed by MRA4 and MR2 until ??? followed by MMA. The MRA4 option is the cheapest (5.5bn) but more cash is needed earlier than the MMA option (6.5bn).

Of course, I only heard this via a rumour, so can anyone shed any light?

Don't know if it's significant or not, but the MP for Woodford asked for clarification of the Government's position on the MRA4 during business questions in the house this morning.

Any word yet??
I know these things are slower than a fairy with a replacement LRU when there is a good movie on Sky:rolleyes: , but thought there were to be meetings on the beast soon.
Good luck
