Recommendation 10
10
Delay and withdrawal of immature rail schemes erodes industry and community confidence.
Conclusion
The delay or withdrawal of immature schemes is disruptive for industry and disappointing for communities who expected to benefit from new or upgraded facilities and services. It erodes confidence in the ability of the system to prioritise the right projects, identify what is viable, match it to supply chain capability, and secure the necessary funding. (Conclusion, Paragraph 68)
