All about why Mr Prescott's 10 year transport plan didn't happen.
Might be worth a listen.
This bit certainly rings true:
"He had a weight not all transport ministers have had. Sometimes it's
been a job either for young ministers on the way up who can hardly wait
to get a better job, or for old ministers on the way down who resent
that they've been demoted."
