Is it really true that Tube Lines is so much more efficient than the
now in-house run ex-Metronet contracts? Is this simply because it
takes a while to unwind Metronet's inefficiencies, or just that
Bechtel and Ferrovial are very tough, efficient project managers?
If so, why does David Begg think that the project should be £1.35bn
cheaper than Tube Lines reckons?


Do you mean Chris Bolt in your final sentence?


Yes, sorry, my mistake.
