One Lord a-Leaping!

Minister to cross Britain by rail

Frustrated commuters will get direct access to Transport Minister Lord Adonis when he embarks upon a six-day rail voyage across Britain.

The minister will board the Paddington to Truro sleeper on Easter Monday - armed with his laptop and a standard class Rail Rover ticket.

On Saturday he will reach York after a 2,200-mile trip taking him as far north as Inverness.

What's the betting he doesn't get there by Saturday! ;D

I bet he has a first class compartment on the sleeper though; unless of course the top bunk in standard class is occupied by a bodyguard.

Though it would make more sense if the bodyguard slept underneath.

Whatever takes his fancy I suppose!

It would make more sense if MPs travelled by train all the time. Maybe things would improve then. Most MPs wouldn't be recognised anyway.

If he doesn't have a bodyguard, he'll probably be mobbed by angry commuters!!
