Politically the railways have always been a second class citizen in the UK. i find it curious that Transport Minister is not one of the top jobs and is filled by either people going up or coming down to/from higher things. We have been lucky in that Adonis and, after a shaky start Hammond proved to be excellent home secretaries and I am hoping HS2 will be built. Lets hope the new appointee will follow two class acts.
