They do but a £1million fine is nowt to that lot, what TFL need is the
power to sack them, but the contracts were stitched up by one G Brown so
it would be far too expensive to do so.

Won't life be great if G Brown becomes PM!

I'd be surprised if a £1million fine PER DAY were "now't to that lot"!
That's the sort of contract that should have been established.
Moreover, th majority of the £1 million ought to be distributed to the
PASSENGERS who suffer as a result of the breaches of contract and not
just go back into T.F.L. coffers.

Clearly the likes of Balfour Beatty etc. don't like paying millions in
fines, which is presumably why they managed successfully to appeal
their recent sentence in one of their other recent disasters - was it
Potters Bar or Hatfield, I forget?
