A topic from Travel & Holidays: Travelling By Rail

laresThu 15/09/11 16:56		"The Scottish Government is to oversee the final delivery of the Edinburgh trams project. Ministers also confirmed that the remaining £72 million grant will be reinstated, allowing the route to continue to St Andrew's Square. Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure and Capital Investment Alex Neil announced that a team of experienced project managers from Government agency Transport Scotland (TS) will fill key senior roles in the new governance structure." "Transport Scotland's new role will involve a team of around four or five staff. TS Director MTRIPS Ainslie McLaughlin will be on the new project Board and TS staff will work alongside CEC staff in key senior roles. TS staff will based in the same offices as CEC and the contractor and work in partnership to ensure that problems are identified quickly and solutions found to avoid the approach under previous TIE ltd regime that saw the contract blighted by disputes. Significant challenges remain in completing the crucial Haymarket to St Andrew's Square section. For example, the Scottish Government remain concerned that there are more than 700 separate instances where utilities may remain in conflict with the project design - some even after they were diverted as part of the earlier utilities diversion works contract."
