The launch of NR Strategic Business Plan yesterday was pretty well received, despite Fleet Street media fixating on fares, shedding more heat than light.
No matter.
With such a vast suite of documents supporting the SBP it was perhaps inevitable that one or two howlers would slip through the editing process.
So here for readers delectation and delight are some of the best ones...
From the London North Western section of Network Rail's Strategic Business Plan:
Quite so.
And this from p28 of the London North Eastern section, which initially showed 'track changes'...
Indeed.
And finally an example of smart-alec Visual Management tools that actually conflict with the experience of those on the sharp end of the operational railway...
Traffic lights instead of signals? Could do better.
Despite this carping, an impressive set of docos that shows quite how far the railway has come in recent years. Now let's hope the ORR says it is all affordable...
UPDATE: This from Steve Strong...
You missed the endless repetition of the DafT (?) inspired guff that this is the biggest investment in the railways since the 'Victorian era'.
Am I alone in being not amused?
