WCML electrification, Christmas 2007. "oops, we have half as
many electrical engineers turned up as we thought we'd ordered"
Give that man a peanut!
Thanks for that - it's annoying when I forget disasters!
But that wasn't a project cockup, it was only a single incident in
part of a much bigger project. I'm not sure how much you can blame the
project managers for staff not turning up when they should have.
Because it was alleged that the "not turning up" was because the
engineers had been double booked, not just because they all decided to
take the same couple of weeks off sick.
