I guess it depends how you measure success or achievement? I agree it doesn't feel like much tangible is taking place yet but then in a different 'sliding doors' outcome we could have had the blast furnace site still being owned by Thai banks and the airport demolished for housing.
Trouble is, none of this shows results for years. The Treasury in Darlington, for example, is not so much about the jobs in that department moving now but about having decision makers from central government (with the money) actually in the region so that future investments decisions are not so London/SE based.
