Interesting - I'd've expected them to wait until the PPP Arbiter had
sorted out liability for the overrun...


Why wait? Metronet are bust so even if the arbiter ruled in their
favour to some extent then they're not going to spring into life.

If there is no market interest then there is no point waiting either as
TfL aren't going to be swayed by anything the arbiter says as they're
funding the companies anyway and the private sector gain nothing either.

This is going to be very interesting indeed.
