He's the third director to go in the last few months, all in the same way strangely enough. Not strange really. It was evident that Metronet were hugely exposed and their reputation was taking a mauling. That is when bankers and investors start getting very nervous indeed. Certain other things have happened that added to these problems. The people at the top have to go when it is clear they are (a) responsible and (b) not able to secure an improvement quickly. My comment about the 'strange' departure was intended to be sarcastic, we all know that the reputation of Metronet is pretty poor. However, let us remember that Metronet has only been in charge for two years, the majority of staff are ex-LU and still do not think 'The Metronet Way'. Changing the culture that existed in while in LU control (and carried on into the first year or so of Metronet ownership) is going to take a long time, and no sucession of changes at the top will affect that. As for the comments about Tubelines not being as bad, a number of former colleagues of mine have jumped ship there recently and more are following. Something in the water perhaps...? |
