DfT officially not in panic mode - Don't panic!!!

No hint of panic then in DfT's decision to announce a change to the planned January fares increase yesterday.

A Sunday.

A Sunday that followed the week where the government's entire franchising policy came crashing down around its ears. 

A Sunday that isn't the 5th of December, which is when the Autumn Statement is due to be given.

A Sunday that just happened to coincide with the start of the Tory Party conference.

A Sunday where the tiniest piece of good news would be embraced by the party faithful as a drowning man clutches at straw.

So no panic at all.

No indeedy, absolutely none at all.
