I welcome the rail industry’s and Transport Focus’ efforts in grasping the nettle and tackling this issue.

Alex Morton: Don’t review spending before first reviewing government – and how it doesn’t work

Its failures begins with the machinery of Government – the core civil service itself. This must be fixed.
