Let's talk about how Grayling's weird obsession with never being wrong is screwing the DfT... #thameslink #rail #london /1
"Chris, you'll find that many things in life depend on a certain point of view." /4
But the EVIDENCE is firmly that the DfT bear some of the responsibility here. /6
But Grayling's head isn't the court of law. Law courts like evidence. And a charge of incompetence will take down DfT too /8
(because of course there is. this whole thing is like a fucking clown car) /9
If our sources are correct, however, then we're WRONG.
It's because the DfT screwed up the numbers on THAT too /11
Sound familiar? /12
1) It was caught
2) The last direct award was long enough to cover the resulting delay
The PROBLEM for the DfT (and Grayling) is... /13
Govia.
So, how do you make a 'your guys are shit' charge stick when the SAME people have just STOPPED you REPEATING the Thameslink mistake on SouthEastern? /14
Let's call it the 'Curious Incident of the SoS at Bid Time' /15
