Never happen
It's gum'ment - they would need to bring in a huge project team (including an methodology compliance department), 3 safety teams, not forgetting a large team of team leaders with minimum 10 years experience in the latest rock moving technology that came out last year, shite load of mostly ill suited heavy machinery [designed not to fit in the work area without extensive excavation and reinforced platforms as well as break down often],
and a couple of people to do some work [should it ever get that far].
Realizing they forgot the pre-project study it'd get shut down before starting so some mates of the MPs a 'select committee' can arrange their friends properly paid 'consultants' to study the work required for 2 years... At which point they can start the above again.
By the plan it'd need to be closed for at least 2 years, but like domino's contractors will collapse, so with even higher priced replacement contractors (eerily identical to the original contractors) it'll grow to 7 years and even then only half done and deemed as an "art installation" - including the surrounding poisoned bogs left by the temporary sheds and machinery that were parked there.
And to think the oldenfolk built it in under a year with a little hard work and some pointy sticks.

Yeah, they are going to rotate the field when the build the new tunnel under it.

We're not interested in old things any more.
We now have HS2, the biggest investment in 19th century technology since the 19th century to catapult us into the future. We think big round these parts.

I love the CCC even though I'm rubbish at making clues so here's an Interloper Craven Clue of the Cruciate
Musichall great's incredulous workforce (5,3)
I thank you...

|
|
|
Well... put me out of my misery then.... I give up.
??

Looking back, I failed to follow convention - hence the rubbish clue. I should've put "we hear" at the end.
Maybe a clue?
It's a Knotty problem
|
|
|
|
|
Here's what I meant:
Musichall great : Ken Dodd
Incredulous : Did he?
Workforce : Men
Ken Dodd's fictional set of characters were : Diddy Men
Ta A_Griffin for giving it a look
|
|
|
|

I knew it had to have something to do with Ken Dodd - can't believe I didn't get it. It was a perfectly good clue - just me being brain-dead.....

This is total pants.
We need to connect to a generic DB from MATLAB.
Step 0: Use the inbuilt database connection in MATLAB. Soz, it needs setting up an ODBC and only supports plain strings for queries. It'll cost clients an arm and a leg as well. NEXT!
Step 1: We already have a .NET library for some tasks, so let's connect through that. OleDb is used for Access, one of the required DB's to support, so we'll go with that. Works fine in .net but when I run from Matlab it can't find the frogging provider. Oh bless my soul, I should've used ADO ...
Step 2: No, ADO.net does not support Access so I have to use OleDb . FML.
Step 9,347: ...

You do know that it's 2018 and not 1978, right?
Anything that uses OleDb should have been replaced several decades ago...

Contrarywise, OleDb is alive and well, Microsoft is even undeprecating OleDb for SQL Server.

Is there no limits to what they'll do for Nagy?

The pain is boundless.
I just tested with available providers and a whole hos don't appear when I load the assembly into matlab. I thinks there is another dll to be loaded, a secret dll, an assembly only available to environments that don't ELEPHANTING ELEPHANT UP EVERY ELEPHANTING THING THE ELEPHANTING ELEPHANTERS ELEPHANT!

In keeping with the forum traditions, you will have to change your username to "Nagy Vilmos in the pub again again again again"

Maybe you should fire-up Visual Studio 1998 and code in VB6 , just for the nostalgia of it !
