But in March 2010 the DfT did inform me they were taking into consideration my rail link proposal.
If the current works near Western Docks are in preparation for a future rail link, as Ed says, then this is good news.
I said nothing of the sort, Alex. How on earth do you arrive at that?
The roadworks are in preparation for terminal T2 which is very unlikely to materialise. Nothing whatsoever to do with a rail link, which is also very unlikely to happen. The first/second/third round consultation documents from 2006/2007/2008 all mention leaving open the possibility of incorporating a rail connection, with land reserved on Shakespeare Beach.
