Crossrail’s Unrecognised Legacy

I have just read this article on the BBC web site, which is entitled Crossrail: Who wants to work in a tunnel?

It contains interviews with those that work underground and shows how Crossrail has gone out of its way to create jobs for those living locally and give them training if required.

It is a classic illustration of how you use a large infrastructure project for which there is an urgent need to get people workimng and give them skills.

I wonder if the Northern Hub and the Borders Railway are having similar effects. If they aren’t, I blame the management and the politicians for not using the right employment model.
