I think the fact IE own the land and the Dept of transport said they wouldn't rule out cpo'ing the land are telling.
What better way to get more money from one part of the govt to another and all the cut for lawyers too.
Particularly as a railway order would be the usual method of acquiring land for a railway and didn't the supreme court agree with the crusties in the Glen of the Downs about cpo's not being applicable to inter-govt land transfers. (semi-state to co. co.)
