Fairly typical for britain. Your company causes a fatal rail crash due
its
utter incompentence , gets a trivial 7.5M fine and a slap on the wrist,
then gets rewarded with a nice fat 300+M contract 6 months later.
Talk about giving the finger to the Hatfield victims and all their
relatives.

What would have been a suitable stance for TfL to take in terms of the
procurement policy for this work?

Are companies always to be "punished" for past errors even if they have
been through due legal process?

I'm not saying this is right or wrong - I'm just interesting in what you
think and why.
