The inspector hasn't even reported on the Luton-Dunstable > (Beds) busway yet. Dunno if it's re-announcing the money or just confirming where it will be used. As I understand it (although I may be wrong), what EERA are saying is that the funding is there for these projects, subject to the final approvals. There's a pdf on EERA's website giving the full list of where the money can go. Luton-Dunstable is up there at the top with the guided busway. Chesterton station also gets a mention. www.eera.gov.uk/Documents/News/Press%20Releases/2005/Misc% 20Files/2005-12-08%20List%20of%20Transport%20Schemes.pdf Jen
