The Anonymous Widower

What We’re Good At!

I was very pleased when I read the third leader in The Times today, entitled Capital Idea.

This was the first paragraph.

After the on-time and underbudget Olympic Stadium, yesterday brought the opening of the Hindhead Tunnel on the A3, on the main route between London and Portsmouth, on time, on budget and garlanded with awards for its safety record. Britain is in danger of getting a reputation for being good at large infrastructure projects.

I could add another couple of projects like the London Overground, where the engineers delivered quality at a price well under the budget.
