The station is there OK. The cost is minimal as most is in place. The biggest cost is a gantry to take trains from a high level to a low level.
A small cost to bring a whole inner-city area back to life...and give the option of extending the tunnel to other areas to bring them back tom life. This could also be a part of a plan to reduce cars in the centre and get rid of the Dock Road, which is little more than an urban motorway. Get them onto rapid transport systems - the infrastructure in the city is mainly in place. The Wapping Tunnel, the Waterloo Tunnel, lines all over the city. It needs integrating that's all. It must be combined with getting cars out of the centre and giving the city back to the people - a people friendly city. Imagine The Strand being like the Ramblas in Barcelona.
Sounds like something to work toward. I like what you are describing. Just like in "Field of Dreams":
