I don't believe that this has only just been classified as an England & wales project at this stage - so why complain only now?

Complain now because you're now in the role of representing the people of your constituency which wasn't a role you were in when the project was initially classified, perhaps?

And the previous incumbent didn't notice that?

Anyway, I'm off on Friday to the new station at Wilmslow, to check it out for accessibility.

Winslow I suspect or has Cheshire been getting rebuilds?

Don't know ... but new MPs▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) are not committed to the views and policies of previous ones.

Oooh look, a chance to bash the London government and get my name in the paper, along with my "angry" photo.
