I'd be interested to know how much all this cost when there are somewhat more
pressing issues to sort out on the tube.


"The roll-out has cost a total of £66m, and TfL expects to more than
recover the £11m cost of software development by licensing it to other
transport operators around the world." according to

Yeah, right - because its their technology developed in house. Not. The most
technical thing TfL can manage without outside help is a bit of train and
track maintenance.
