Are you miserable?

With the ongoing saga of the ongoing troubles on the Northern or “Misery” Line (caused by the drivers’ unions’ refusal to drive unsafe trains), I just thought I’d point out a letter in tonight’s Evening Standard from one TM Baiklock of Teddington. He points out the main shareholder in the maintenance consortium is Ferrovial of Spain, which was one of the main corporate sponsors of Madrid’s failed bid for the 2012 Olympics. It’s now responsible for a billion-Euro investment in the improvements to the Underground in the run-up to London’s Olympics. Make of that what you will. Technorati tag: northern line.
