Default Why No Tubelines Bashing

When the much hated Metronet forecast a £2bn overspend there was much
criticism here and calls by the then mayor for Metronet to go bust. There
were calls for the super efficient Tubelines take over and do the work for
the original estimate. Where are the Metronet bashers now that Tubelines
have come in with a £1.4bn overspend.
Before anybody says well £1.4bn is less than £2bn Tubelines have 3 lines and
Metronet had 5 lines. That makes Tublines even worse than Metronet.
