One of my concerns is that as the bus fares and Tube fares rise, we are actually going to almost force people back into their cars. That is one of the reasons I so much agreed with you about getting under-16s free on the buses; I thought that was totally inappropriate because it makes buses more crowded for other people who might want to use them. Do you think we are going to see a situation where bus fares and Tube fares mean that it actually is worth paying the Congestion Charge and using private cars again?

Eurostar - links with other transport modes The design of the new Stratford International station for Eurostar is such that it will involve passengers in a 500 metre walk to reach the Stratford public transport interchange for Tube, DLR and bus. What plans does TfL have to overcome this ludicrous situation - can some kind of transit shuttle be built?

Can you comment on the latest fire on one of the Mercedes articulated buses - were we not assured in the spring of 2004 that the problem that caused three fires on these vehicles previously had been overcome?
