Deal agreed with BAM Nuttal...mind you weren't they the outfit that so successfully built the Cambridge misguided busway?

However seems they were the only bidder, so best of luck!

BAM Nuttall have worked on railway infrastructure schemes successfully for many years. You can't really use the Cambridge busway as a stick to beat them with, it just isn't typical of the projects they seem to do all over the network with little or no publicity.

Perhaps it's just 'nostalgia' but I see the 'Waverley' re instatement as the 'catalyst' for much more 'expansion' of the overall Network, well the first 35 miles of it anyway, hope I'm right...
