"Does not look good for Mary Mcleod who was spinning success along side Boris" Should teach her not to believe City Hall press releases, really. A hard lesson, but you need to learn from your mistakes in politics. Other things to emerge about the fiasco - the reason they're desperately sticking to the '2018' deadline for full resignalling is an agreement with the DfT made when Metronet collapsed that the funding runs out in 2018 - since 2018 is now impossible look for frantic renegotiation of this followed by some BS about 'putting the plan back on course' with yet another new target date starting with '202'. The original Piccadilly Line upgrade using the system now running on the Jubilee and being installed on the Northern Line was 2014. It's entirely possible we'll end up installing that same system about a decade later than planned. |
