If NR can get its costs and project management right, Jones may be a very good choice (if this Govt lasts).

No date I can see on that except a 2012 copyright statement - I wonder how old it is, and note it's his own constituency.  He may turn out to be a good choice ... I look forward to seeing much more evidence to confirm that his enthusiastic support for taking rail forward is nationwide and current.
