Default Metronet boss sacked over delays

I am no lover of the PPP's but have to say that the Underground service
is greatly improved from what it was a few years back. I commuted into
London in 1999 and again in 2001 and with the refunds for delays I got
at least one free journey a fortnight. I am working in London again now
and I haven't found the need to a single claim in.
I was slightly amazed at Ken Livingstone's and Bob Kylie's comments
though.
Do these two think that if LUL were actually running the show that the
situation would be any better. The only thing that I would say is that
without the PPP's it would be 10 times worse.
As far as I can see the only downside to the PPP's is no Steam on the
Met.
