Default Oystercard - not quite as useful as we were led to believe

Or to look at it another way LU launching a system that wasn't ready and
setting unobtainable target dates for Pre-Pay.


Or:

Private company doesn't meet key milestones in a project managed by
themselves, despite assuring customer that milestones would be met and
product would be ready for launch?

No, that'd be attributating blame where it's due wouldn't it. Far better
just to bash LUL. You're not an Evening Standard journalist perchance, are
you?


But are these contractors liable for any penalties for failing to
deliver? If not, the targets are meaningless.
