This blog from Lee Waters MS, former transport secretary in the Welsh government, should be required reading for Labour’s new team at the Department for Transport. Vision is important but nothing changes in transport unless you rewire how decisions are made amanwy.blogspot.com/2024/08/dont...

Extract from blog post. Opening text reads:
