The objective of this exercise was to identify a realistic probable capital cost for the design, construction and commissioning of the infrastructure work including the stations, tunnels, track, signalling and control systems. This was necessary to provide information for the business case and to provide con dence to potential investors. It was important to give assurance that the capital cost estimate and programme were soundly based, realistic and achievable. This was particularly important insofar as the cost overrun and delays that affected the Channel Tunnel itself were still in the forefront of potential investors’ minds.
