You'll understand if I'm somewhat skeptical about all these "improvements", given what Northern line riders have to endure.
Er, that would be because the improvements haven't been made yet. The theory is, that you won't be 'enduring' quite so much after they've been done.
It's got sod-all to do with Livingstone, Blair, Brown, whoever. It's the simple idea that something is shit now, and needs to be closed so it can be made less shit.
They've supposedly been making improvements, that's the thing. We've been having loads of closures already: these are only notable because there are so many of them!
And the PPP makes a BIG difference in how it's done and the effects. If Blair and Brown hadn't insisted on it, and wasted time on it, they'd have been working on this already. Instead it's contracted out and by all accounts, taking longer and costing more money. It's like Crossrail: with all the time and money they're spending arguing about who's going to pay for and build it, they could just build the fucking thing!
