Although retired I still receive all the Departmental bumpf, including updated pages for the DfT officers handbook.
One replacement page in the post today foxed me, but my sharp eyed lady wife spotted the change
In the section on abbreviations and acronyms (there is a difference, you know), all the initials were the same, but IEP now stands for Intercity Extension Project now defined as 'Further life extension of IC125 high speed diesel trains, with re-engineering and reliability upgrades to 2025 or 2035'.
I look forward to seeing what my erstwhile colleagues will make of the SOFA (currently Statement of Funds Available) following October's Comprehensive Spending Review.
