From BBC News website:


Frustrated commuters will get direct access to Transport Minister Lord Adonis when he embarks upon a six-day rail voyage across Britain.


Rest of story here.

What a wonderful name. Thought it rang a bell so I got the following piece of wisdom from Wikipedia: In modern parlance the name "Adonis" is frequently used as an allusion to an extremely attractive, youthful male, often with a connotation of deserved vanity.

I know our ministers can sometimes be vainglorious, but as for the other aspects of the allusion ..... nah!

I have a Tanzanian friend called "Adonis." Everyone asks if he is greek.
