Gwyneth Dunwoody, that redoutable chairman of the Commons Transport Committee, has just won Channel 4’s Backbencher of the Year award for her grilling of transport ministers and various other assorted players in the industry.
Covering the hearings of her committee is, indeed, one of the regular treats for transport journalists.
