Humorous Swansea Bay blog Inside Out - http://bit.ly/5UmWIl - today comments on a recommendation by a Welsh Assembly committee to look at the idea of a £5bn light railway system for Wales.
The scheme was flagged up by an eyecatching although not necessarily representitive page one graphic in yesterday's Western Mail. It depicted towering office blocks shining down on London's light railway rather than brooding Celtic mountains standing guard over a creaking travel network.
The satirical blogspot does well to point out what many Western Mail readers - especially this far west - must have been thinking ... "Is this one committee too many?"
The blog goes on to say: "Presumably the same members making these recommendations were around when Ieuan Wyn-Jones announced that there was not enough cash in government coffers to finance a new M4 distributor road at Newport ... Suggestions that billions of public funding can be diverted into new schemes merely raises the question as to whether Wales can continue to afford a surfeit of committees in Cardiff Bay with far too much time on their hands."
Hear, hear, Inside Out.
