Andrew Jones, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, is Under Secretary of State (ie junior to the Sec of State and Minister of State).
He appears to be an HS2 enthusiast, and was PPS to Justine Greening while she was Sec of State for transport.

Andrew Jones is on the Rail North Electrification Taskforce.

I started a thread on cabinet changes but it got moved to General Discussion: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=115671

The point is Pacer replacement may not have been in the Lib Dem manifesto but having Lib Dems in government representing constituencies like Southport and Sheffield Hallam helped push it through.

Pacers are used in George Osborne's constituency. What did Mr. Osborne have to say about Pacer replacement when pushed on it? Some generic bull**** that Stephen Hammond had given him.

The Conservatives wanting to win/keep seats in the north was probably a bigger factor! As Ed Balls would no doubt reflect...
