I understand removing overtime, but surely they could have finished
one or more of the stations by now?Â* If so, then any associated
workforce may be able to be used on other parts of the project to not
slow that down any further.
While they all might look identical in their orange outfits, in
practice they have many different skills and are employed by many
different contractors. Some skills/employments may be transferable,
but lots aren't.


True - but with a station you have the people who do lifts, who do
tiles, who do other decoration, who install ticket barriers, the
sparkies, etc etc, but each station at various times will need each of
the sets...


That doesn't help much if the stations are being fitted out by different
contracting firms.


The actual workers are unlikely to be directly employed by the main
contractors.
