Basically the rush is on to get the new signalling system online by
the December deadline. I'd be interested to know if Tube Lines is
compensating LUL - or more to the point LUL is paying Tube Lines less
- because of these weekend closures (over and above the cost of rail
replacement buses and associated staffing)? Or is LUL just keen for
the work to get done ASAP?

I'd think it'd be a simple financial calculation by Tubelines over how
much compensation they have to pay LUL for weekend closures vs the
financial penalty for missing the December deadline (plus keeping
signalling contractors on beyond December, etc).

The root cause is that the new signalling system simply isn't working.

They might as well have continued working on it today, rather than
leave it in chaos, as seems to have happened.
