[Previous entry: "railways white paper"] [Next entry: "interesting alliance"]

Pete Waterman, producer of FLM by Mel and Kim, spoke with conviction about some of the announcements in yesterday's White Paper on last night's This Week on BBC1. He seems to know the subject well, and was positive above all that the government has given Network Rail the right to run the railways (well track, stations and signalling). He came over as someone who would cheerfully engage you in 2nd class, and was not distracted by the supercilious public-school noises of Michael Portillo.
