‘Employer’ and ‘contractor’ are out-of-date words on today’s railway

Disappointing to read the ORR using divisive language in their report. Holloway was delivered under an Alliance Contract form where the Northern Alliance partners are joint and severally liable for performance of the works. 'Employer' and 'Contractor' are words from history and not relevant to a modern railway.
ORR should show leadership, something sadly lacking in the fragmented UK railway. We deserve better for taxpayer money.
