I agree that there's an element of NIMBY, but its unfortunate that this
has been amplified by the over-engineered and unduly intrusive nature
of the present plans. Its also unfortunate that the opportunity is not
being taken to, for example, eliminate all the level crossings along
the Broady line.

People in the area have the right to expect that the rail line will not
adversely impact upon their amenity more than is absolutely necessary.
The present plans also cost a lot more than they need to.
