The Transport Select Committee certainly isn't what it used to be.
At this afternoon's session MPs were particularly keen to ask questions about the infamous meeting Hoon had with franchisees on the 19th January.
Alas the sharp bus bandits outsmarted Ellman and her team.
None of those sent to represent the TOCs at the TSC had actually attended the Hoon meeting, allowing them to neatly dodge committee member questions without any risk of perjury.
Meanwhile struggling National Express played a particular blinder, fielding Paul Bunting currently MD of their Coach Division; a man who hasn't run a railway for nigh on three years!
It was beautifully done and all the more so because none of those sitting on the TSC appeared to notice!
