Not good with trains?
« on: January 09, 2013, 08:04:30 PM »
After Osborne's little wobble with which class to travel, comes this story:

Simon Burns, minister responsible for train fares, uses £80,000-a-year chauffeur-driven government car to 'avoid overcrowded trains'

News is likely to provoke more anger from commuters still reeling from the New Year inflation-busting rise in train fares last week.

Burns, the Conservative MP for Chelmsford, travels the 35 miles between his home in Essex and Westminster using an £80,000-a-year departmental car service.

Bit like the Chesterfield Town Mayor.
Uses the Nexus to go from the Town Hall to Rykneld Square.
