Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...

Does the Commissioner believe that the Mayor is acting honestly in trumpeting the amount of money that TfL has given to London boroughs this year when, for the second year running, London boroughs have received a real terms cut in the amount of money Transport for London are providing them for improving the capital's roads and footpaths?

The Oyster system and the Oyster online system are not properly integrated as they have different passwords, and it is not possible to check your journey history online if you have topped up your card at a station. When customers request information by email, they are told that it can take up to 5 days, which means it is actually quicker to get it by post. Does the Commissioner believe that this system is cheap, efficient or environmentally friendly?

The Assembly's Transport Committee recently observed a team of Revenue Protection Inspectors greeting a succession of bendy buses. We were told that in a 2-hour period, the RPIs could expect to find 100-130 bus users without tickets and on every bus we saw a great number of bus passengers rush to escape from the bus as soon as they saw they would be checked. Unsurprisingly, it is difficult to ascertain quite how many passengers surreptitiously swiped their Oyster cards only after they had seen they would be checked. Is 100-130 bus users without tickets an acceptable figure?

How much opposition to the Emissions Related Congestion Charge would the Commissioner have to receive before he would seriously reconsider a proposal which will fail to improve congestion, which will increase the number of cars entering the Congestion Zone, which will have a minimal effect on London's CO2 output and which will not improve London's air quality?

I wonder if I could talk to you about the famous - or at least the notorious - Hanger Lane gyratory system. I remember when I first started at LBC radio, as I was learning to do the traffic news, we found that that was one of the systems that we constantly described every day in the traffic news as being a nightmare, and it is a nightmare. I wonder whether that is a gyratory system that you would look at, but on the other hand, if you were to look at it, I cannot for the life of me...
