Does she have even the foggiest idea of what she's talking about?

She claimed (in her campaign material) that LU have agreed to extend
the Wimblewares by one carriage. I asked LU customer services who said
that hadn't been decided and at any rate wouldn't happen until
2013-2016 due to platform length issues. Ms Greening didn't reply to
my email querying this.

She wants to renew the track (apparently that's happening on the 21/22
May anyway so she doesn't need to do much - I wonder if she will have
claimed to have done it.

She does have experience of using it frequently and has been
campaigning about it (rather quietly) for a while though. Hopefully
she will campaign for sensible things to be done to improve the line
rather than expecting the impossible.
