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?

Surely LUL's contract is with Connect PFI. They can delegate part or all of
the work to a sub-contractor, but not the responsibility. Any remedies LUL
might have in law are with Connect PFI, irrespective of who their
sub-contractor is. Compare with purchase of a house - your contract is with
the builder - not his subs...
