The excellent Total Politics website contains a comprehensive and surprisingly optimistic piece attributed to Transport Secretary Phillips Hammond.
Two words of warning, though. His wide-ranging vision for Britain’s transport network is distinctly on-message to the extent that you will you first have to get past the guff about “empowering local communities, supporting social mobility and providing a cleaner, greener gateway to a better quality of life”. Secondly, you won’t find any mention of Wales – or rail electrification.
Update: Also worth a read on the same site is Labour, don't strangle the Andrex puppy by Jerry Hayes, who writes: "The trouble with the Lib Dems is that they have always outwardly appeared to be the wide eyed, adorable fluffy kittens of British politics, while on the ground they can be the dirtiest street fighters in the business with the moral compass of an Algerian rent boy on crack."
