I suppose with all big technology projects they will be teething problems. I would rather their be cancellations and delays than put peoples lives at risk. @ Debo Definatly. Even so its frustrating being involved in the delays and cancellations. @ Carol

Back in 2002 it was even worse - in three months there were problems with the computer system on three different occasions causing disruption. The privatisation of NATS was madness, and I think public opinion was very much against it. In just the same way I think things have got worse with the railways after privatisation - think Hatfield, Southall, Paddington.
