The only choices before that were which route the surface option would take.<BR/><BR/>And at $2 billion + this is so very very expensive that tolling seems the only outcome as was probably intended since the on off tolling proposed by Transit previously was laughed off the stage.<BR/>Yet private funding will double the cost of construction. <BR/> The Brits found after privatising their rail maintenance and construction that prices rose 5 fold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-11856802938582441482008-02-13T16:54:00.000+13:002008-02-13T16:54:00.000+13:00Further to your picture:http://www.neatorama.com/2...Further to your picture:<BR/>http://www.neatorama.com/2008/02/12/l337-eye-chart/Lyndonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622953598107216261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-63374063426692562592008-02-13T15:59:00.000+13:002008-02-13T15:59:00.000+13:00But not on Queen Street!But not on Queen Street!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05680274679737065263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-55152356657280752632008-02-12T14:16:00.000+13:002008-02-12T14:16:00.000+13:00No wonder they have to give it away one day every ...<I>No wonder they have to give it away one day every week.</I><BR/><BR/>LOL out loud.

Am currently on contract to the consultants doing the geotechnical work on a major roading project, and the Dominion Post has been attempting to write about it. It has been a great source of amusement to us, as they write of types of drilling rig that _don't exist_ and rocks that aren't possible. We had to promise our supervisor not to troll their comments section :-(Weekend_Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863068062497281215noreply@blogger.com
