In the case of Metronet SSL, the one year "honeymoon period" has

work for the above mentioned company, albeit on the stations side.
From what I have heard from someone directly invovled, is that the
work that was being done was on behalf of a contractor of LUL.

Work on the infrastructure being done by a contractor of LUL rather
than a contractor of Metronet SSL? Surely that's not way PPP is
supposed to work, is it?

But not everything being provided on the LUL network is provided by
the Infracos. Remember there are several PFI contractors which were
signed in advance of PPP to provide ticketing (Prestige), power and a
new radio network (Connect). There is also a PFI for British
Transport Police accommodation and plenty of other day to day
contracts for stationery, consultants, property maintenance for
offices etc etc etc. --

Admits to working for London Underground!

Later reports stated that it was Balfour Kilpatrick who were working
as sub-contractors to Metronet.

Balfour Kilpatrick were installing 10,000 volt lines as sub to Metronet
as sub to Connect PFI as contractor to LUL. Now with whom does the
responsibility rest?
