Kier's change-maker may have departed, but he's left his mark

摘要

Boom-and-bust workloads in control periods also need to be considered by the review, which could lead to reductions in costs of between 10 and 30 per cent. At the end of last year, 99 per cent of more than 120 rail-business leaders surveyed by ComRes/RIA said there were 'peaks and troughs' in rail funding, with two-thirds saying the term 'boom and bust' best described the nature of rail workflows. A way needs to be found to ensure that significant design and planning work is undertaken in good time to allow the next control period to hit the ground running.
