I am one of those whom provided the cost of the new infrastructure is not too excessive doesn't really worry what it costs. These are investments for 100 plus years and not just a couple of decades like most capital projects and they should be paid for over that period.
Such is the life of a railway that now we don't care now whether it cost £100 a mile or £400 a mile in 1850 as its utility 160 years later is so great that the construction cost from then is almost irrelevent. Future generations will think the same of our costs regardless of what they are.
