NWRL Acquiring your land!

Don't panic, it's not really a problem.  It's just that, legally, an owner owns the land all the way down to the centre of the earth, so if someone wants to put a railway tunnel in under your property they have to "Acquire Sub-Surface Stratum Land".  So anyone living over the intended path of the North West Rail Link tunnel will soon receive a notice of the formal acquisition process for the land beneath your property.

Except in special circumstances there will be no compensation, and all experience shows you won't hear or feel a thing.
