Slippage?

***BBC claiming delay to Crossrail***

Mind you as they can't even spell Wolmar's name correctly...

UPDATE: Crossrail sources indicate that funding packages to be signed "imminently".

The Fact Compiler's money is on the BBC's Will Smale being "misinformed".

Haines gone

This from First Group...

"Andrew Haines, currently Managing Director Rail Division and Chief Operating Officer at First Great Western is to leave the Company.

"Speaking of his departure, Andrew said: "This is entirely my own decision and I am grateful for the support and encouragement of the FirstGroup Board during my time with the company"."

The Fact Compiler has a suspicion that Haines and Lockjaw won't be trading Christmas cards - for environmental reasons obviously...
