If you want a 21st century railway, that's the price, otherwise have
four wheel coaches with gas lighting and steam hauled to boot. Your
choice.


I think it's exactly that kind of attitude within the public transport
sector that explains why a section of track, that has been closed almost
every weekend for about the last year, is once again being taken out of
service. Just out of interest, do you work for Metronet or LUL by any
chance?

Most companies who had to close a section of their business over such a
long period, would take advantage of that closure and undertake any
other planned work (for that area) at the same time.

A few weeks ago there was an TFL puff piece in the Metro about how the
Wembley work had been finished on time and the weekend service would be
back to normal by the end of May. Strangely enough It didn't mention
that it would only be back to normal for 2 weeks :-)
