A month ago I wrote to Andrew Gant the county councillor responsible for transport who maintains that nothing that has gone wrong is his fault. I challenged this listing 9 separate ways in which the County Council either contributed to the project going wrong or failed to mitigate its effects.

Hello! Julian Le Vay here. Thanks for following. How are you and Judith? My brief episode as revolutionary now seems over but it was fun, worth doing and took my mind off the absolute awfulness of everything for a while.

Some gains. The two groups worst affected, small businesses and disabled, now have groups representing them and Network Rail are listening and there will I think be some. Already more frequent Botley Flyer service. The city and county councils still dodging all responsibility though.

Friday's news was awful, unbelievable. Having spent 20 months hacking just 100 yards of road, Network Rail we're going to spend another 20 months hacking at the same hundred yards of road. As in a nightmare, the same thing repeats and repeats, but nothing changes.

The rail minister Lord Hendy is coming on Friday to tell us that nothing about the Botley Road fiesta is his fault and in anyway everything's now fine. If you disagree, come and tell him, outside the community centre, Botley Road, on Friday at 9:30 a.m.

Network Rail is busy prettifying the Tunnel of Doom in advance of their masters visit (the minister, who is in law the sole shareholder of the company). Things that we ask for in vain for two years and our suddenly being done, leveling the surface of the walkway etc.

When Network Rail sought the Council's approval for their plans to expand Oxford station, they said they would close Botley Road only for four days. (It's the only road that connects West Oxford to the city.) It's now been closed over 600 days. There is now no date for reopened at all.
