The latest issue of Rail has secured a nice quote from My Lord Adonis.
During the Pilgrimage of Grice the rail minister used an All Line Rail Rover, which he freely promoted in the media at just about every opportunity (something the train operators have singularly failed to do).
Alas.
As the Eye revealed two weeks ago ATOC are to increase the price of an All Line Rail Rover, from the 17th May, by a whopping 15%!
Indeed, so shocked was Adonis by the scale of the price increase he told Rail:
"With friends like that what enemies need the railways fear?"
With ATOC paying over a grand a day for PR consultants perhaps someone should have seen that coming?
