Do you not find that they are absolutely grotesque to look at? I am a great one for doing what can be done but I also believe that the best way to encourage people to do the right thing is to make it possible for them to do the right thing. Is it not going to be absolutely vital that we get these light bulbs designed in a way that is acceptable to people because the light is appalling and they look absolutely grotesque?

It is very important that people have a practical solution to these light bulbs. I am genuinely asking whether we are going to get some improvements in the light bulb that might persuade people that they are not such a disastrous thing to move over to. That is what I am trying to get at.

I was just wondering about these light bulbs. Nicky, have you completely gone over to these hideous new light bulbs? Has your house completely gone over to them now?

Therefore you are actually putting it up to help fill a deficit. ... To balance the books. As the penalty revenue falls you are predicting a deficit.

Staying on the subject of revenue from Congestion Charging - is not the problem for TfL that they foresee a huge drop in the amount of revenue from Congestion Charging as people learn to manoeuvre themselves through the rather Byzantine payment system, whereby you will be getting less penalty money? Is not the whole point of jacking it up from £5 to £8 actually to make a start on filling the deficit that TfL has actually prophesied itself?

What about the public inquiry the ALG has called for, a cross-party call to you?

Can I ask about one other aspect? Recently, there was a call from the Association of London Government (ALG), a cross-party call, for a pause in this whole rolling out of the Congestion Charge westwards, and to allow for a public inquiry to take place, not least because we understand, and you yourself went on record to say that some very interesting trial work was being done on tag and beacon. Would it not be better to pause before you put all these cameras in and have a public inquiry to look at where we are on this whole issue?

On the Transport for London website, there is no obvious link to information on the Congestion Charge. The information can only be accessed by clicking the 'Travel Information' link, and then Congestion Charging appears in the sub-menu. Given the importance of this to so many people, would it not be better to have a more immediately visible direct link on the Transport for London Home Page, and can the Mayor put pressure on TfL to rectify this?

The No. 24 buses are regularly arriving at Pimlico in pairs, and also leaving the Grosvenor Road terminal at very irregular intervals, often only a minute or two apart, followed by a long gap. The reason for this, as explained by a driver, is that there is no control to ensure a regular service, and drivers arriving late at the terminal start the return journey at once to try to stick to the schedule, even if another bus has just left or is about to depart.
