You are very proud that you have taken over the former Silverlink North London line and clearly there are going to be substantial improvements there, but the vast bulk of the improvements that you are proposing to make to the line itself, are towards the east. Can you tell me what work you have done in considering extending the services of that line to the south west.

In relation to the re-tendering of the Southern Railways contract, nobody is saying that that will be handed over to TfL in the way that what you are now calling the Overground was, but, as I understand it, again, there are warm words that the Mayor and TfL are being consulted and so forth. Can you, again, be more precise about TfL's involvement in that re-tendering?
