I'm not sure that even you lot can manage it that quickly! You did hire Mark Hughes though, so who knows?
Our stadium debacle doesn't look bad compared to Crossrail 1989: the scheme was first proposed 2001: TfL and the Department for Transport began to develop Crossrail 2008: Crossrail was rubber stamped 2009: construction began, which was really popular with businesses in Soho whose premises were knocked down Early 2010: both election manifestos promised that Crossrail would be delivered in 2017 Late 2010: Mayor of London *shudder* Boris Johnson says, actually, Crossrail will be delivered in 2018 2016: in what was definitely not a move to improve Crossrail PR, the main route was renamed Windscale Sellafield the Elizabeth Line 2018: ...nope, now it'll be opening in 2019
I have digs near Heathrow when in UK and there's been feck-all going on at Hayes Station since Carillion went tits-up. As one of the central hub stations for CR, that's the clearest sign that schedules have slipped. Mind you, why should we not have to wait an age for a train service.
No, the problem is that we paid "market rate" (TM - Harry Hotspur) for all the sparks in London. Therefore Crossrail cannot get all their electrical work done on schedule. < Levy out >
