Story Post: Regional Under Secretary for Transport

Adminned at 02 Jul 2025 17:41:46 UTC

We’ll need to know how local congestion pricing would play within the integrated transport strategy. I’ll get the RUST on the line.

It seems more likely to me than not that this is someone’s actual job title.

Score 1. I don’t think “under secretary” scans correctly; it should be “undersecretary”, a single word, in this context

Either’s valid. The gov.uk website seems to vary between spaces and hyphens.

I guess I’m making an aesthetic preference call, then; it feels wrong to me, spaced out like that.

Score 4. Honestly part of my worry with why transit is so bad is that the idea of having a regional under secretary means there are several layers of bureaucracy that are simply getting in the way of having efficient transit.

That being said, the RUST probably has good intentions and is just as frustrated by all the red tape as everyone else.

Score 1 - I agree with Josh on the spaced-out weirdness for me, having hardly ever seen them seperated

Score 4. The spacing is odd, but you’ve shown that is used occasionally.

I also feel a little weird about the “under secretary” spacing, even if there is proven usage. It’s aesthetics vs function, so Score 3 from me.
