Nice juggling of words, essentially though network rail is 68 - 80% more expensive than the top European infrastructure managers in the peer group, 40% less cost efficient being an obfuscated way of saying that things cost 80% more than they could. |
Yes, I have seen this before. The question is, obviously, why do we find this acceptable and what if anything is done about it?
