Well, I mean, you ask people who use it, the local hospital patients or other users of that station, they will not accept your description that their station is by any means practically and in real terms accessible. The question is that station, as well as Harrow on the Hill, whatever the cost is, the fact is, if you are serious about regeneration, if you are serious about making those stations accessible, then you have to give us a programme as to when we can expect something being done. We cannot have this indefinite situation where there is absolutely no...

I think most Londoners would think that, five weeks away from the Olympics, it is ridiculous that the bus drivers cannot even get the employers to discuss their claim. Mr Mayor, what are you doing to bring both sides together to have this discussion?

Thank you; that is one down. Now, can I just say to you that the recent YouGov survey commissioned by End Violence Against Women Campaign showed that almost a third of respondents, women aged 18-24, have experienced unwanted sexual attention on London's public transport. So, is it not time for TfL to commit to a zero tolerance sexual harassment awareness campaign, similar to the one run in New York; I do not know if the Mayor saw the campaign ads while he was visiting there recently, but those ads are quite clear. They say, 'Sexual harassment is not acceptable, will...

Have you picked up the phone to any of the employers to actually ask them to get on with some sensible negotiation?

Mr Mayor, I hope that cycling safety is also a cause for concern for you. In light of your exchange with Assembly Member Boff at Mayor's Question Time on 23 May, how many of the 16 cyclists who were killed in London last year would you say died because of their own fault?

I would be very interested, Mr Hendy, to see the results of that study. Just anecdotally, tipper-truck drivers do seem to drive incredibly fast and just from my observation, as somebody who did cycle in this morning, and cycles in to City Hall most days, it desperately needs attention, because there is something desperately wrong with the way in which those vehicles are used on the roads of London.

Mr Mayor, if some of the Assembly Members need to label every part of the TfL network as 'dangerous to cyclists' succeeds, could that not be used by defence counsel as an argument to reduce the legal culpability of dangerous drivers?

Mr Mayor, the question is twofold: one is that, of the 270 stations served by Underground network, only 65 which would be fully accessible come London Olympics, and then there you have got this temporary ramps, manually placed at some stations. The question is that, are those temporary ramps at all for future feasible to be used as entry measures? The serious question is --

I think it is very encouraging to hear that actually TfL, you have shifted your position away from what really was a hand-washing of the issue. Can I agree with you, Peter, that these issues can be resolved quite quickly and I would have thought that, if necessary, if you get on the phone to the union and the employers, you could probably get everybody into Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) tomorrow in order to stop the strike on Friday.

Yes, thank you, Chair. My questions of concern are about sexual harassment on London transport and they are to the Commissioner. Peter, I am just looking for four yeses here, so I hope we can agree. Can I just start by saying, I know that you will agree with me, that sexual harassment on London's transport system has been a matter of concern. I say that because I have been working with your officers on this matter since 2009. Can you confirm that TfL remains committed to a zero tolerance approach and that TfL has a duty to ensure that...
