Good point Foggy. If you are able to plan a steady work programme for years in advance you can keep permanent staff contiuously busy. But if it is boom and bust, with the public demanding that work is frantically crammed into short periods, or the Govt suddenly give the railways more money, or takes it away, then you end up having to use temporary labour from sub-contractors.
