Were they purchasing votes?
I see in the newspaper this morning that the Government is writing off a load of 6.5 million pounds it made to the Rover group just before the last election in a vain, last-ditch attempt to save the company.
That 6.5 million could have bought TWO brand new trains for the TransWilts service - to provide a through service every 2 hours direct from Salisbury to Swindon - and would have paid the running costs completely for the first three years too.
