Indeed.

"I tried as a minister at the last minute to unpick this,
but it was too late."

His last minute as a minister was in 2010. Why has he waited
six years?

He wasn't wearing the hat of "Chairman of the Infrastructure Commission"
until very recently.

True, but in the interim period he wasn't hiding his light

posing as the font of all wisdom on public transport matters.
I don't watch television but I imagine he had a pulpit there too.
