That's going to make Edinburgh Council look like a paragon of
financial prudence. Especially as it'll be "Britain’s first new
underground railway in decades", so there are no workers available with
recent experience of tunnelling in, say, London.


Huh? Crossrail, HS2 and the Northern line extension all have significant
London tunnels.


Is this national "fail to spot sarcasm day", or what?

By the time this scheme gets underway, Crossrail 2 might
also be underway or even completed, as might the Bakerloo extension.
