Quote:
The council said that when title searches were initially carried out, it was assumed the plot belonged to Network Rail.
Later investigations revealed this was not the case.
Despite attempts to locate the land owner, the local authority said it was unable to do so and was currently in the process of buying it to ensure the rail link project was completed.

I thought that the Land Registry was the definitive voice in who owned what, and if no one could be found then it automatically belonged to the state.
But then again...this could keep Conveyancing Solicitors "in the manner to which they are accustomed" for quite some time.
