Yet more good news for Londoners!
According to Tube boss Richard Parry, quoted in today's Gruaniad...
"Regrettably, we now harbour grave doubts over Tube Lines and Bechtel's ability to deliver the upgrade of the Jubilee line by the end of December, which they are contracted to do."
Strange.
Surely Transport for London is not calling into question Bechtel's project management skills?
Surely not.
Why only four months ago the TfL Board rubber stamped Crossrail's decision to award the £400m Project Delivery Partner concession to err... Bechtel - based on the US company's supposed ability to deliver complex projects on time and to budget.
Of course every cloud has a silver lining.
With Crossrail looking set to be caped after the next General Election there'll be no risk of the project overrunning.
