Scott Wilson and the Waverley Line Project

Scott Wilson has announced a big increase in both profits and revenue for the half year ending October 2007. They are of curse the company that were appointed by Scottish Borders Council as the engineering advisor for the Waverley Railway Project. The value of the contract to Scott Wilson is expected to be up to £9 million over the duration of the project. That's out of a total, so far declared budget of £174 million. Difficult to see how the project is going to keep within its declared position. Of course the figure of £200 million is currently in the frame as the projected costs. It will be fascinating to see once the dust has settled a little more just how much has been spent so far. I feel a little FOI question or two coming on.
