Default Thames Link Progress - Or Lack Of It

In message , at 13:23:14 on
Thu, 31 Oct 2013, Paul Corfield remarked:
The PAC report acknowledges that the first stage of Thameslink was
delivered on time and under budget which seems a reasonable performance
to me.


Which timetable though? In 1996 they said construction would start in
2001 and be finished by 2006. Railtrack was still promoting the 2006
date in 2000.

The end of the WAGN franchise was even delayed to 31 March 2006, to
synchronise it with the new service pattern (and the merger of the GN
and Bedpan services). Oops.
