Interesting that Kiley's departure was announced while he was out of the country. Paul Scott |

But I was wondering the same myself all yesterday, along with, "This is front-page news in the Guardian, why isn't it being mentioned in utl?"

Baby steps, Paul, baby steps! My own view is that Tim will want to stay at LU to see a number of things through. There are a series of company wide briefings going on at present and Tim fronts those sessions - he is a very good speaker and clearly knows what he wants to do. I've got a lot of time for him as he is a leader and inspires confidence in people. There are also far too many better and more ambitious people than me who would want Tim's job. Given that I wouldn't want to do my boss's job I can't see that I'd ever wish to do Tim's one. Even if people here are having a small joke at my expense I'm flattered that people even perceive me as a potential candidate. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |

... Even if people here are having a small joke at my expense I'm flattered that people even perceive me as a potential candidate. I certainly wasn't making fun of you - I would need to have a much better knowledge of LU and TfL's structure than I actually have, in order to know if there was potential for sarcastic humour in the suggestion that you might get this particular job. Now, if I'd suggested that Boltar should send his CV in.... -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

I missed the start of this thread. What's Mr. Corfield done ? Got a job in some part of the TfL hierarchy ? Richard [in PE12] |
