Mr Mac
Much "weasle-ing" in the shire !
Transport Sec Patrick McLoughlin only appeared before the Transport Select Committee on Monday !!!!!!!
Not a sniff that this was coming, I think I am correct in saying it came out of the blue as a written answer the day after !
At least my fear that HS2 station outside T2 would simply turn Manchester into a long stay car park for Heathrow have been banished !
When asked about a High Speed Rail / Crossrail interchange at Old Oak Common, Former Transport Secretary Philip Hammond stated a few years back...
"Lug your heavy bags down a couple of escalators along 600m of corridor and then change trains at a wet suburban station somewhere in north west London. That is not an option."
....well it is now !
