Renovation of CLR works

Allegedly, Multiplex the contractor building White City complex are paying out 15% of the £600 million project costs to LUL for the new 16 siding depot. This includes paying for the BCV infrastructure protection engineers permanently based on site to oversee the work.

Multiplex are already taking a massive loss with Wembley Stadium, the Aussies other UK operation.

CLR = Central London Railway; it's original name when the line opened from Shepherds Bush to Bank in 1900

I would urge a little caution here as a matter of security and all that. This room has total control of one line, and, IMHO, it's precise location should remain a mystery in the public domain.

Ok my apologies . Even though information like this is accesible on the 'net there is no reason why we shouldn't be acting more responsibly here.

Back on topic, however, I was taken into the old power station building and the interior was completely gutted with excavation work deep below the foundations.

I think those who completed the apprenticeship would have rather different opinions. I served the time but because I left for a better job after I passed out I failed my apprenticeship on a technicality.

The technicality was that I didn't get an NVQ L3, but I couldn't get the NVQ unless I took responsibility for my work (i.e. held a Safety Critical Licence), and apprentices were not permitted to hold an SCL as they were supposed to be under training and mentoring. See the problem?

Just to say that moderators very rarely act in isolation. In this case Colin and I were totally united as to what should be done. Yes, we could have removed the xxxxxx: on the other hand it might have been better to remove the offending post in its entirety: but think what a furore THAT would have created.

That is the point of moderation: members do not always see the wider picture so post innocently. So long as DD LU forum cannot be accused of being a security threat (however ridiculous) that's all that can be asked

the apprentceship is badly run and managed having doing a 3 year hell battle with the management there i finally finished a year early and i was the last year to get my deeds still with the words LONDON UNDERGROUND not METRONET or INFRACO SSL

if i knew then what i did now i would of joined as a signalling support fitter and made my way through the grades takes about the same time if not quicker to become a t/o but you are getting experience every day whilst at work not just doing a load of stuff that has no mean to your job for a year as the first year when you are a apprentice it is spent at acton in the training centre
