An assembly government official in charge of monitoring the Arriva Trains Wales franchise is in a relationship with the managing director of Arriva Trains Wales, it has emerged (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7463612.stm

Opposition assembly members are demanding a meeting with the assembly government about the issue.

But the assembly government said stringent processes are in place to avoid any conflict of interest issues.

Alison Teague is responsible for monitoring the ^100m Arriva Trains Wales franchise for the assembly government.

Her partner Tim Bell was appointed managing director of Arriva Trains Wales last December.

The shadow minister for the economy and transport, Welsh Conservative AM David Melding has said he wanted a discussion with Deputy First Minister and Transport Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones about any possible conflict of interest.

In a statement the train company said:

Quote from: Arriva Trains Wales
Arriva Trains Wales understands that the Welsh Assembly Government was made aware of this matter when Tim Bell was appointed managing director and has put processes into place to avoid potential conflict of interest.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
