HC Deb 26 February 1997 vol 291 cc269-70W
Mr. Spellar

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the additional costs of constructing the station at the Greenwich exhibition site so that it can cater for visitors to the exhibition. [17646]

Mr. Bowis

The additional road traffic arising from the development of the millennium exhibition site requires the access road to the station to be constructed to dual carriageway standard, at an additional cost of £700,000. This cost will be met from developer contributions. No design changes to the station itself are expected, based on current forecasts for demand arising from the exhibition.
