<p>Benefit Cost Ratios (BCRs) within the economic case are only one element of decision-making
on schemes and should be considered alongside the other cases in the five case business
model used in Government (strategic, economic, financial, commercial and management
cases). Therefore we do not routinely make BCRs available.</p><p>Details of Rail infrastructure

Not all of these were promoted by the Department.</p><p><em> Estimates of station

practice it can take a number of years for long term demand patterns to emerge for
new stations. The Department (and bodies who promote their own schemes) have a long
standing and established appraisal framework to help scheme promoters forecast passenger
demand of new stations and lines. We are continuing to monitor our framework and use
evaluation to understand the impacts of schemes.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
