Sorry, I don't find it back, but I remember distinctly reading about 106 millions for 2.2 miles (and not 53 for 1.7). It was quite recent (like two weeks ago). Aren't they opening new tunnels/stations? Maybe the difference in our data is there. It was just pedantery anyway, the cost are still an order of magnitude below the eurotunnel.

[edit] weirdly I can't find cost nowhere. Everywhere it is said that it cost LVC 52.5 millions to build the first 3 stations and 1.7 miles, now there is 5 stations and 2.2 miles, they upgraded all the cars and the cost is still reported as 52.5 millions. There is also no report on what cost what either, this is really obfuscated. I don't care about the exact labor/material cost, but I'd like to know if the subterranean station did cost as much as the tunnels? less? How much? What about the outside stations?

Did you find anything yourself ?

I was never interested in that company, now I find the lack of transparency baffling.



Thanks. I haven't found better information, I think it's likely all the best details would be buried in formal filings that are more effortful to dig up and dig through. I wouldn't expect detailed breakdowns though, Boring Company is private and isn't likely to want to reveal more of their private finances than contracting requires of them.
