When High Speed 2 eventually reaches Edinburgh, passengers getting off there will have a difficulty because under Network Rail’s current plans the taxi rank is to be moved outside the station. Will the Secretary of State ensure that passengers will still be able to switch to taxis with ease at Edinburgh Waverley station?

Obviously, security issues are also involved, but I can tell the hon. Gentleman that I have already met representatives of the Scottish Government to discuss the longer-term plans that we have for improving the journey times between Scotland and the rest of the country. There are some exciting proposals that we can bring forward. I am very much looking forward to continuing those discussions over the coming weeks and months, and I very much hope that he will be involved in those discussions and thoughts, as they develop.

It must be A gift that only Politicians have...they can reply to any given question at great length and without that reply having any relevance or response to the initial question asked!!

Never mind, we're about to become important to them again ... well at least for five mintes.

It's vote again. You vote for them and they het to ignore you again for another 4 years.

But the challenge is, put them all in a line in your mind and cast your thoughts along it. See if you can tell the difference between any of them.

Consider the promises they made last time and tick the box for those who lived up to them.

Then ask yourself which of them would disagree with the simple premise that in these dreadful economi times the way to incentivise the rich is to give them more money, and the way to incentivise the rest of us to take more money from us.

Finally when a politician tells you that taxis are being removed from the station because of security issues, why not just them the truth ... they are liars.
