I've been talking about this with a colleague who is active in transport.  Rather than not have a second AD, I really don't see why they don't use a directorate to fill the gaps in knowledge from the selected candidate (they went through at least 5-6 already).  They are already talking about training on congestion control to prepare more future candidates, so a stop-gap solution seems very reasonable to me.  It will be a lot of work for one AD to run TSV and then without a directorate... in addition to a day job (at least part time).

That actually sounds a bit crazy to me. The AD role is mainly
a leadership role which makes it really had to split 20 odd
ways :-)

I would imagine that synchronizing between 2-3 ADs pose enough
of a challenge as it is.
