The Railhead Modification has become necessary to meet the project's strategic objectives of minimising environmental impact and carbon emissions and maximising transport by rail to do so; whilst also mitigating programme risk. The risk of fuel shortages, escalating fuel prices and driver shortages in the current economic situation means that transport by rail is now a more economical option than transport by road to achieve the project's objectives and provide programme resilience by allowing for both modes of transport. A change of contractor for the Railhead Modification would introduce significant safety and integration risk, duplication of work for coordination and additional cost. The Transition Modification has become necessary due to programme changes over time for the Track Systems contract award. The purpose of the Transitio"
