Yes and this comes closely on the tail of the news that ERTMS is to be set back "50 years".
Interesting how a Tory government lays ALL the blame at NR's door. This is a systemic failure....and it was the Tories themselves who privatised the railway and made it 40% more expensive than European railways.
After all the election promises of expansion, it seems that they want to hit the railway with their drastic austerity measures, and drop all the blame on NR.
Stanchions have already started to be erected on the MML, so I hope that this is only a delay. This country needs these long-overdue improvements. The buck stops with the government, so if it doesn't get fixed it will be their responsibility - not that an MP was ever taken to task over anything.
