Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I do not mind which person would like to answer. It might be we start with Lyn and move over to Lord Hendy. The transformation of the Olympic Park and Stratford is something to celebrate. It is fantastic. I want to pick up about transport today, surprise, surprise. Stratford Station is estimated to be the seventh busiest Network Rail station in the UK and one of the busiest stations on the TfL network. It is straining to cope with demand, a fragmented layout and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in the middle causing a huge bottleneck...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am increasingly concerned as to whether Stratford Station can safely meet growing passenger demand. Stratford Station is dangerously overcrowded, with well over 40 million passengers using the station a year, from only 12 million a decade ago. I understand plans to address overcrowding are looking solely at Stratford regional station, yet Stratford International could help relieve the situation. What are you doing to look at expanding the use of Stratford International Station to deal with this increase in demand?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. We have heard a lot about the London Stadium but there are five different Olympic sporting venues in the Olympic Park.

OK. I want to go back, Commissioner, to the point about fire safety and fires in London, which you mentioned there. The latest performance figures clearly show that the number of serious fires have been rising over the last year across the capital; we have seen an increase in fires in dwellings by around 7% and an increase in non-domestic fires around 17% which is concerning, given the trends previously. We are now seeing it reversed. What changes are you going to make to respond to this worrying trend?
