Hey, this is the private sector - they don't do risk or investment -
that's for the public sector. I read somwhere that they (Metronet)
could do absolutely nothing, no maintenance etc and would STILL get
paid.


I see that LUL are suing Bombardier for GBP20 million over the Chancery Lane
derailment. Bombardier aren't best pleased, as the Central Line stock was
built by ABB, which was sold to Adtranz, and Adtranz was sold to Bombardier,
who don't see why they should take on their predecessors' liabilities.
