The West Coast mainline upgrade was supposed to cost £2 billion. Someone decided it was expensive so they cut the specifications to cut the cost. We got a poorer upgrade than planned and guess what- it only cost £9 billion.

So multiply that £33 billion by 2,3,4 ? Take your pick.

Let me know on that billion, Eric. I think we might need it soon.
