BBC (Web), 16/05/2013, Unattributed

It was written before the Department revised its case but the basic arguments still seem relevant. At the time of the Eddington Review in 2006, he says the benefit-cost ratio for HS2 put it in the bottom fifth of investment projects that the Department for Transport had on its books.
