Transport Secretary Chris Grayling and Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary, former Rail Regulator and Modern Railways columnist, Sir Thomas Winsor, quibbled over vocabulary as the minister unveiled his plans for the railways (p8) at a speech at the Policy Exchange think tank on 6 December 2016.
