Roger Evans (AM): Can I welcome Mr Hendy's comments about the changing approach to disability access to buses. Certainly, back in that period 2001 to 2005, I was pointing out that wheelchair access was not, necessarily, the same thing as access for people with disabilities, and the removal of seats was far more harmful to people who needed a seat. Will that process now be changed for other public transport vehicles such as trains? We have seen the removal of seats in recent years and it is a big problem to the increasingly elderly population?
