offer some guarantee of continuity.


Ken would then have to put his money where he mouth was and TfL would
have to deliver what Metronet failed to do, with the same staff of

Not really. Metronet subcontracted projects to its own shareholders,
unlike Tube Lines. Whoever takes over is more likely to run the projects
the way Tube Lines does, selecting whichever potential subcontractor is
most capable.


How is the Jubilee and Northern Line resignalling going then?
