Yesterday there were news reports of a Parliamentary Committee with an
interest in public transport expressing dissatisfaction with the speed of progress
on the Thames Link project. Network rail had apparently tried to assure the
Committee that everything was fine The Committee particularly questioned
whether the project would be completed by 2018.

I was under the impression that the Thames Link project was almost complete:
platforms have been lengthened and the new viaduct at Borough is in place.
What remains to be done? Why does it require another five years? Five years is
a long time
