On your point about the "foreign companies" getting the work ,i doubt it .We have some of the best construction companies in the world who are well placed to build this ,Balfour Beatty would be a front runner but it won't be a single company.The contract will be split into parcels and tendered for ,the workers will be taken from whoever wants the work bad enough so if not enough English unemployed want to get up early and work 8hrs a day then the gap will be filled by foreign workers
