Welsh national anthem mangling MP John Redwood has been having a go at Network Rail.
Not unsurprisingly he is concerned that over the last year the infrastructure operator "had to write off £567 million from the value of all the derivatives and financial instruments it holds."
Money which, the Vulcan believes (and probably quite rightly), could be better spent in his Wokingham constituency on "a bridge over the railway line to ease congestion" and "a new station", as well as "safer level crossings" nationally.
So far so good.
But then he has to go and spoil it all.
He concludes his blogpost with the following:
"I was less amused to learn from the borough council that Network Rail wants to charge the council a fee for suggesting a bridge over the railway line to try to tackle safety and congestion...
"And they are meant to be a nationalised public service.".
Perhaps he'd like to remind Gideon and the National Audit Office of this fact?
