(1) Is it correct that the Economic Evaluation contained in the South West Metropolitan Railway Master Plan and Appendices dated April 2000 states explicitly that ‘It (ie the purpose of the evaluation) was not to determine whether a bus or rail system should be used’?
(2) If this is correct, why does the Government continue to base its decision to proceed with the rail option on the contents of the report?
