Both Metronet and Tube Lines come in for harsh criticism in LU's third
annual report on the PPP arrangements. Metronet is the bigger offender,
but Tube Lines is also failing with regards to the Northern Line in
particular.
Interesting comment from the TfL press release regarding Metronet:
"The current closure of the Waterloo & City line is an "acid test" for
Metronet, to demonstrate their capability to manage major projects."
