After his runaway success as Transport Secretary and the timetable fiasco ( which rumbles on ) and his party political bias when in office -

" Transport Secretary
Grayling was appointed as Transport Secretary by new PM Theresa May in July 2016. In December 2016, he blocked a move by the London Mayor Sadiq Khan to give control of the metro services run by Southeastern to TfL. A leaked letter revealed that in 2013, Grayling wrote to then-London Mayor Boris Johnson saying that he opposed such a move because it could put those services “in the clutches of a Labour mayor”. The leak led to Grayling being accused of putting his party's political interests over those of the public and commuters, as well as members of his own party calling for his resignation "

Another Grayling masterplan now founders on the rocks of the real world. What a cock this man is.

It's more than just one bad apple, the Tory Party are nothing more than gangsters, once you accept that, then keeping things in the family is perfectly understandable.

He has always astounded me. Comes across as lame and inept. I was surprised to learnt that he is a privy councillor. That must explain how he endures in govt, seems to be a grey company man who is a keeper of the states secrets and a member of the inner circle.
 
I was watching him yesterday on the Transport Select committee. Tories now admit that

  • the train service is too fragmented
  • Not one individual is in charge (yes he actually said that )
  • Wants Rail track to get closer to the franchises so they don't have to keep paying them compensation when things aren't delivered on time
  • Suggests that getting Railtrack to sign off on the Franchisees business plan ..... might be a good idea (LOL)
  • he will come up with a new partnership plan in the near future
  • He will allow Virgin to apply for new franchises despite them walking away from the East Coast trail line
  • Still believes the future of the railways is better in private hands (we subsidised them to the tune of £1 billion a year when it was British Rail now its £9 billion.


All in all it was an abject performance , no sense of responsibility for the current chaos.

Can anyone tell me why Failing Grayling is still in a job?
 
He does exactly what they want him to do. His job isn't to create a successful rail network, his job is to bleed the network of all profit for his party and it's cronies.

Same with (c)Hunt when he headed up the Health Service. You don't get a promotion for 8 years of failure, we just never really cotton onto what their objectives are.
 
Northern Rail still a complete bollocks of a service. Burnham - I know not loved by all - has written to the PM today after Grayling has done the square root of jack shit about it. May is on holiday and Grayling - who promised that Northern Rail was now his top priority back in June is nowhere to be seen and his top priority appears to be left floundering. Its an absolute fucking joke no wonder foreign companies like to run our rail companies - no matter how badly they will do it the still rake it in a nobody does fuck all !!
