What's going on?

Usually these posts bring you news; this one just asks a fairly simple question: what is going on with the Guided Busway?

The Guided Busway was supposed to be ready for driver training at the start of November so that the first paying customers could start using this much-delayed service a month later. On Tuesday of this week I was surprised to see that the contractors had blocked the Busway in both directions near the Cambridge Regional College - clearly no training is going to be happening and the timetable for this project looks likely to slip again.

What puzzles me is what exactly is going on. Due to the veil of secrecy the Conservative controlled County Council has thrown over the whole project nobody, least of all the taxpayers who have actually paid for the Busway, have any clue about what's going on. The County Council seems to be locked in a financial dispute with contractors BAM Nuttall and maybe this is in some way connected with their blocking of the guideway.

It's high time the County Council came forward and let the tax payers of this County know what's going on.
