Boris, a large number of my constituents use the buses to get around boroughs like Havering and Redbridge because the rail links tend to be radial into town. So the announcement you have made today about the progress you are requesting towards resolving the strike is very welcome and I am sure they will be happy to hear that statement. But do you not share my surprise that the unions who were spending July campaigning for large amounts of money for working in the Olympics spent April campaigning for a candidate who was promising to slash public transport fares?

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?

Complaints have been received by customers when dialling 0207 222 5600 and then requesting Oyster Cards information. Apparently customers were held in a queue for over 24 minutes despite the message advising they were only 3rd or 4th to be dealt with. After contacting customer services they were advised that the Oyster Cards information service are notorious for delays and that many complaints have been made. Are you aware of the complaints? Can anything be done to rectify this 'user un-friendly' system?

Earlier in the year the Mayor indicated his awareness of the Peak Oil phenomena. As such is he familiar with any current or planned study or report into how the potentially catastrophic implications could be offset in London? If one does not exist will he consider, as a matter of urgency, the commissioning of a detailed survey?
