I wonder whether the Secretary of State agrees with her colleague, the Minister with responsibility for railways, who said:

"'Delivering a Sustainable Railway'...does not identify a need to re-open lines to deliver additional capacity."—[ Hansard, 18 December 2007; Vol. 469, c. 1444W.]

How does she square that with the massive growth that she is predicting?
