Hurrah for ATOC!
Finally someone in the industry has had the cojones to challenge the Secretary of State on his spectacularly ill advised suggestion that the railways are a "rich man's toy"!
Happily the BBC was there to record the words of ATOC's newly emboldened CEO at a LibDem fringe event tonight:
"Philip Hammond needs to read his brief a bit more closely before making these kind of comments."
Of course had Michael followed Eye's coverage of Derbygate he would not have been surprised by Petrol-head's strange utterances and inability to read from the Departmental script.
For as any ful kno, Paper-knife is only trusted by his officials to 'open envelopes'.
UPDATE: This from Croesus...
I rather think everyone has missed the point of my good friend Philip's most witty quip.
He is rich.
The railway is his toy.
N'est pas?
UPDATE: This from El Sureño...
Muy Estimado Señor Compilador,
Surely it should be ‘someone in the industry has the cojones to challenge the Secretary of State’.
Unless you are implying that our brave railwaymen have literally been emasculated by the dead hand of DfT.
