SIX years into a Labour Government and we are now told we will have to wait another seven years before the trains will run on time.

Even then don't count on it being back to the level left by the Tories because the seven years is only a "target". Tony Blair is so proud of this record he has told his Transport Secretary to go part time and double up as Scottish Secretary.

If it weren't so tragic, it would be a farce.
