You're digging it round and it ought to be square
The shape of it's wrong, it's much too long
And you can't put hole where a hole don't belong

That is always the fiddly part

It depends on who is liable for the delay Men and Machines have to paid for, someone is going to lose a shed load of money my guess is the Tax payer

Better it's delayed and done properly this is all based on the fact i will rarely use it so don't give a fuck.

w4 When you count in Civils, Tunnels , bridges, ground formation, drainage, cable troughs, Then track, signalling, power and comms Its no a great deal of time but someone will feel it in the pocket
Normally if my company was delayed by another we would fire letter in giving notice of a delay claim , Im sure there will be trail of paper for a 9 month delay

Even when the service starts my bet is it will be at least six months before it runs smoothly and is isn't a total mess everyday of the week as it beds in.
Don't forget if they haven't installed hot water points for the drivers in the correct places those trains are not moving. Ha ha.
