As always, lots of interesting insights, and a few surprises:

"This is because a number of stations remain unfit for handover. ...
with Whitechapel being the furthest behind. Here, the problem isn’t just
fit-out but construction – sources suggest that the station is still not
structurally complete"

So there goes the idea that no-one knew until last week

I wonder how much of the delay is down to deliberate sabotage as happened on
the JLE before it opened. That substation explosion seems very fishy to me. I
find it hard to believe experienced electrical engineers could accidentally
get it so badly wrong.
