Sadly Mr Hammond’s little tete a tete yesterday was missing a couple of the more illustrious railway hacks.
Neither Wolmar nor Captain Deltic saw fit to join the Marsham Street love-in with the new Secretary of State.
Presumably both were, ah..., too busy?
Or perhaps they thought that being summoned to bathe in Hammond's glow with just two hours notice showed a little too much of the "old Tory" style?
Despite his busy diary Wolmar still found time to scribble a disparaging blogpost ridiculing Hammond's early surrender to the carbon hungry road lobby.
Eye fears that Christian's first invite to meet Hammond may already be his last.
