In your Draft Consolidated Budget for 2006/07 background statement, you said: 'given the paucity of investment by train operating companies in safety and security on the capital's overground commuter rail network, the Mayor now proposes that £3.6 million of funding be provided to deploy 89 additional BTP police officers.'

Transport for London is providing £2.4M for 60 extra officers to be deployed throughout the overground network.' Which is it?

Many Freedom Pass holders need to keep hospital appointments requiring them to reach the hospital by 9 a.m. The restriction on use of the Freedom Pass before 9 a.m. causes considerable expense to those on very limited incomes with a cycle of such appointments.
