What does 're-moding' actually mean?

Sun

May

2012

A government video has asked people to "re-mode" during the London Olympics. But is this a real word and what does it mean? The minister could have asked people to walk or to cycle, instead of using the Tube. Instead Transport Secretary Justine Greening asked people to re-mode in a promotional video. Specifically to "re-route, re-mode, re-time". Is this a real word or an example of government gobbledygook? According to the Department for Transport, re-mode means "to change the mode of transport that you use". It is, they say, a word that is well known within the transport industry and can be found in many Department for Transport papers. But it does not crop up in dictionaries with this meaning, and internet searches throw up a Depeche Mode tribute band.
