"Minister to cross Britain by rail
A spokesman said Lord Adonis would be happy to chat to travellers
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 £375 standard class Rail Rover ticket.
On Saturday he will reach York after a 2,200-mile trip taking him as far north as Inverness."

Perhaps he would have a bit more credibility, if he also took a trip on the Inverness to Thurso / Wick line.
