I'm willing to give Mr. Grayling some slack because he recognises
Network Rail's shortcomings for what they are. I particularly
like the way he is giving the East West Rail project to a separate
company.

Sort of. What he's said is that for it proceed, a separate privately
funded company needs to own the project. Apparently this counts as
giving his full support.


Isn't there a billion of state money going in, too?


Not for the bits which still need doing now (I'm unsighted as to the
amount they've spent on the bits which are by now open).


That's not what I've read.
