Sounds like a sensible decision. Why pick people who already have
years of experience running railways when you can pick a building

Laing own (or owned) Chiltern Railways. It's difficult to think of a

Err.. and aren't the MTR in question the people who run the Hong Kong
metro - hardly a 'building firm'...

Just like Boltar I see Bob Crow jumped in and made a complete arse of
