Grant Shapps believed to be heading for Transport SoS, according to the Beeb.
MP for Welwyn Hatfield, former Conservative Party chairman, no former transport experience that I can see.
Definitely a Tory insider and a "safe pair of hands".

He's my MP. First thing on his agenda will be 8tph for Brookmans Park. He actively sought to get TfL to take over the GN inners with a promise of a higher frequency for this station.
(Guess where he lives)
