Default Daily Mail story (was where to see the steam runs on the Underground?)

Yes, let's hope that his last act as a transport minister is to reduce
the notorious congestion on the A12 by removing himself and his vehcile
from it.

Which do we think will happen first:

- he decides that he can take the train after all, maybe copying the
Deputy PM and using a less obtrusive black or brown box

- he "decides to spend more time with his family" to use a time-honoured phrase

Very interesting that a traditional Tory supporting paper is having a
go at a Tory minister in a week, when the government would clearly
prefer attention to be elsewhere. Given the complete lack of support
from any colleagues it would seem that Mr Burns may have run out of
friends and could be heading back to obscurity, other than*a claim to
fame of being a cousin of David Bowie...

Dear all


And BTW, for those who believe the Daily Mail to be a worthless
publication, today's [online] edition has an interesting lead

Thousands are hit by fare hikes... but not the rail minister who spends
£80,000 on a CHAUFFEUR for his 35-mile commute
