KHOODEELAAR! Quoting 'New Civil Engineer' report on the near-disaster on the London underground during the week. We reiterate the call for the ending of the UK Govt's role as a tout for Big Biz interests. This near-disaster on the Northern Line should not be ignored. Most of the tube disrepair and lack of competence is linked to the neglect being shown to the EXISTING railways infrastructure in and around London. Must a disaster occur before this point is accepted by the decision-makers who have been acting as stooges for Big Biz interests? Scrap Crossrail, improve the existing Underground and rail networks in and around London. Make travelling in London safe.

Near disaster as runaway engineering train clears six stops on Northern Line


13 August, 2010
By NCE Editorial



A runaway and defective engineering train this morning caused chaos on the London Underground, travelling six stops on the Northern Line before it could be stopped.





The incident has caused massive disruption to the Charing Cross branch of the London Underground and services on the line remain suspended.



At around 5.25am the train that was carrying out rail maintenance work became defective as it approached Archway, travelling southbound on the High Barnet branch. Engineers began to move the defective train northbound by coupling the now unmanned carriages to an out of service Northern Line train.



However, for reasons that are now under investigation, at around 6.44am the engineering train broke free heading southwards. It ran for some 13 minutes past at least six stations before coming to a standstill at Warren Street on the Charing Cross branch.



London Underground staff diverted passenger trains to the City branch while directing the engineering train to the Charing Cross branch where passenger trains had been non-stopped and cleared.



It has since suspended the use of all engineering trains of the type involved in today’s incident, which are provided to LU and operated by a contractor.



Transport for London confirmed that the Rail Accident Investigation Bureau had launched an investigation into an incident that happened.

KHOODEELAAR! Asking again, after waiting a week since the latest fabrication for Big Biz CrossRail had been published by the various contract and construction trade outlets peddling the CrossRail name…..” Where ARE the ‘thousands of Crossrail jobs’ ? We have been asking this Question for almost SEVEN years now [SEVEN years in January 2011]. The official agencies operating the touting role for the Military Industrial Complex in the UK [which owns controls and promotes the agenda that the UK ‘Govt’ carries] have not answered this question. Nor has the UK Department for Daft the so-called Department for Transport.

>>>>>>>>>> 1445 [1430] Hrs GMT London Saturday 07 August 2010. Editor © Muhammad Haque: The Big Biz agenda scam Crossrail’s touts operating from the ‘professional, official media’ outlets as typified by the ‘Press Association’ ‘UK’ are parading lies. As is illustrated in the UK Press Association’s evidently untruthful assertion contained in the ‘news release’ we quote in full below: “Skills offer as thousands of CrossRail jobs created (UKPA) – Jul 22, 2010 Londoners will be offered the chance to learn skills to help them take advantage of the thousands of new jobs being created by the Crossrail project, it has been announced. The 118km long, £16 billion rail line, which will run through central London, will support the creation of around 30,000 jobs by 2026, with up to 14,000 being employed at the height of its construction between 2013 and 2015. A skills and employment strategy has been launched, setting out how local people will be given the chance to work on the ambitious project. London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "We want Londoners to benefit from this project in every way and that means giving them the chance to learn the skills and benefit from the jobs created by the scheme. "The skills strategy and various training and apprenticeship schemes will help us give young inhabitants of this great city the chance to build and benefit from Crossrail as a lasting legacy." Transport minister Theresa Villiers said: "Crossrail will be more than a world-class railway - for tens of thousands of people it could be the route to a successful career." Crossrail has committed to creating at least 400 apprenticeships through its supply chain and to develop a specialist tunnelling and underground construction academy.
