So Lord Hendy - the new minister of state for rail - pressured Systra to sack the uncomfortable Gareth Dennis for talking to the media about how Euston is dangerous. This is a scandal. Please contact your MP demanding Hendy's resignation. www.politico.eu/article/uk-r...

Hendy is also on the advisory board of the railway museum. I am also going to write to them asking them to put a stop to that as well.

He didn't even raise this really - he was repeating something the ORR had been reported since *6 months prior* to what Gareth said to the Independent - they issued an improvement notice to NR last year!

This sucks though I do look forward to the WTYP special on Euston this will probably trigger. Will try putting something in writing although my MP is an absolute toady.
