This is surely s script from 'Yes PrimeMinister'?
“If Avanti operates the service as empty coaching stock, [it] can be run more flexibly – delayed or rerouted – than a booked passenger service. This can assist with performance management and service recovery during disruption.”

Funny how politicians become so concerned when there's "political" violence. No-one seems to care about the other 45 people shot in the USA on the same day.

Most of the converted vehicles are more expensive than the Motability top limit, so the car users pay for the top-up, just as users of "premium" vehicles do. This policy is purely one to ram home the idea that disabled people should live as miserably as possible.

It's hard to see how they think that this policy will win right-wing votes (it won't), or hold Labour votes (it won't). What are their advisors saying to convince them that political seppuku is the only possible choice?
