[LNW-GW Joint]

Anyone expecting to read an actual long term strategy will be disappointed.
It's only a description of the scope of the real thing still to come, important though that is.
Usefully, it does explain how GBR sits in the increasingly devolved government structure, and identifies the aspects of GB rail policy which are reserved to GBR.
