    Take your 25% off and they'll be fine.

    On the plus side, at least MF will fit on.

        I think you'll find the CVs of the train designers that were recruited were over-embellished regarding their expertise and experience.

        Of course, if agents had a couple of references to verify the train designers skills, all this could have been avoided.

        Anyway, new business as agents scour the jobsites for train designers to fix the problem.
        Double margin!

          Well as the trains have already been built that would be a waste of time, wouldn't it? Now a good agent with a bit of savvy would be looking for station re-designers
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Dont forget agents cant read so unless someone painted a picture, they wouldnt know they have already been built.

              They'd probably be scanning CVs for Ruby on Rails, to boot!

                The trains are fine, it's the legacy platforms that are too narrow.

                    Depends where you're standing.
