This update on the Battle of the Barriers from the BBC...
A rail company is appealing against a decision not to allow ticket barriers at York railway station.
The appeal is apparently to be heard in the New Year, by which time NXEC should have shuffled off its mortal coil.
So there is precious little benefit to be gained by the franchise, NatEx or indeed its hard pressed shareholders in mounting this appeal.
So who is yanking NXEC's chain?
Step forward Lord Adonis, DafT and DOR.
Eye salutes this unholy triumverate for learning from Ireland's experience with the Euro constitution.
Just keep asking the same question until they come up with the right answer.
