Thanks for that Michael. I didn't realise that any W.Sussex lines went into Waterloo, much less who represents them. The implication is that either Tex was using the full might of his cabinet position to the benefit of only those few who can vote for him OR that he only knows about the little bit of W.Sussex. Would he rather be seen as stupid or devious... Priceless! Thanks for that Michael. I didn’t realise that any W.Sussex lines went into Waterloo, much less who represents them.

You're spot on about a transport link from Waterloo to St Pancras being utterly irrelevant to virtually all Sussex commuters. The only ones it is relevant to are those few residents of West Sussex who live in the villages in and around the Downs about 15 miles north of Chichester - Midhurst, Fernhurst and the like. Because they can all drive to Haslemere quite easily (which of course the terminus station is... Waterloo). That this represents a tiny minority of West Sussex residents is beyond dispute. However, what you may not have picked up is that of course the County Council member for most of the area identified above is - you guessed it - our Tex himself. Naturally, that is only a co-incidence! I must admit there have been times when I have wished all of West Sussex benefited from the sort of attention that is so clearly lavished on particular areas from time to time, in examples such as this one you have described.
