It wouldn't take much to confirm it as the gap is only about 20 m .
Is that all George? I'm surprised that MPP hasn't made this a priority.
I doubt he has any say in the matter . He would need permission from EH and that could be very slow in coming .
But they'll either align or they won't and that will be evident from the diagrams and photos. If they do then there's hardly any need to dig the intervening 20m up.
