Is the National Audit Office now colluding in DafT's dishonest declarations about the amount of new rolling stock it has ordered?
According to the BBC it is:
"The NAO said 1,300 new train carriages had been ordered, and ministers say they are tackling passenger growth."
Poppycock!
Captain Deltic calculates that, "because of a combination of double counting and someone in DafT keying in 42 (for 24) the real total is only 1,156 vehicles".
He is of course an optimist!
Meanwhile it is disingenuous for the BBC to claim "ministers say they are tackling passenger growth" because none of these vehicles have been built yet!
So BBC - bias or balls-up?
