This from Norfolk Broads...
Absolutely no panic in the Tory party about vulnerable seats in East Anglia.
No siree, none at all.
So what are we to make of this then?
According to this press release from the Treasury:
Chancellor George Osborne has announced a new taskforce to look at speeding up journey times to East Anglia to drive growth in the region.
Plans for a new expert group charged with finding ways to speed up rail services to the East of England by as much as 25% have been set out by the Chancellor.
The new taskforce will be made up of Department for Transport officials, experts from Network Rail, and local MPs.
Evidently not content with presiding over the most complicated railway structure in the world our Chancellor has decided to abandon boring old things like Route Utilisation Strategies, Control Periods, Statement of Funds Available, etc... etc..., instead he will improve our network by fiat!
Move over ORR, franchise bidders and RDG your skills are not needed, for we have SuperGideon and 'local MPs' to the rescue!
It's not as if our Chancellor has anything else important to do, what with a record deficit and all!
On the plus side, only another 18 months till 7th May 2015 and after that we can all go back to business as usual.
