So what's going wrong with the Jubilee line?

Are there any competant engineers left in this country?

Very few, and many of them are due to retire. There is an enormous
shortage of engineers in the UK, mostly due to the under-funding of
Further Education and government policies to encourage youngsters to
take degrees in subjects such as tourism or media studies.

What the country needs is technicians (not graduates) in engineering,
but it is becoming increasingly difficult even to recruit them from
abroad, as countries such as Germany are having similar problems.
