Item 5 above contains a tabulation which shows that the time spent accessing stations by car was multiplied by an astonishing factor of four within the economic analysis.  Without that multiplier the economic case for the proposal would have collapsed and the nation may have been saved the waste of £250,000. 

We comment on that at item 6 above and have made freedom of information requests to find the basis for the multiplier but without success.  Relevant correspondence is here and here.
