Your betting would be that the re-tendering will proceed on that timescale?

When will that come to a head?

You are aware that there is a lot of unhappiness about the potential closure of the shuttle between Victoria and London Bridge as a result of the Thameslink work. Rather than go into that, will you just give us your reassurance that you know that local opposition to that is very high?

Can I just ask you to be a bit more specific on a couple of those points. The East London Line extension phase two, which, as I understand it, is a relatively small sum of money by the standard of these things, for really just a mile or so of extra track; at what point are we going to know about that?

The Chair is anxious because we have spent over 20 minutes/half an hour on this and I am not sure that we are any the wiser as to how we are going to get action on Metronet. Your strategy seems to be that you are left to beat up the parent companies.
