"None of the stations are yet finished"

Surprising word order aside, that is staggering. How could every one of
them be running late? Weren't they built by different contractors?


Yes. I suspect that once the opening was delayed, they cut back on the
overtime working that would have been required for even the most complete
stations to meet the December 2018 target date.


A chap I know can still work 7 days a week if he wants, so there's
no shortage of overtime.


Is that on stations that are near-complete, or on the ones that were far
behind schedule?
