His proposal was pretty good, not perfect but if the government had actually followed it the trains would be better than they are now.
He did chop loss making stations on the fact that few used them, and the government followed this part of the report. However he also said there should be large scale investment in many areas that were popular. Of course that wasn't followed. He gets unfair rap at times I feel. The government will have set the constraints of the report he won't have had a blank page to report on.
