Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is for the Commissioner, and I am going to raise the issue of the Piccadilly line signalling upgrade.

We do know that the new trains will increase capacity on the line by 23 percent, but if it were to be given the go-ahead, the signalling would increase capacity by 64 percent. Can I ask you about the state of those negotiations and are you hopeful that we will get that capital funding?

So, can I ask, one of the concerns, particularly in the recent McNulty Report, was around the ability to close category E ticket offices, which are the smaller ticket offices, but which offer vital assistance to commuters, particularly in my constituency, for example. In that franchise that is coming up in the autumn, the Great Northern, part of Thameslink franchise now, I have Grange Park and Bowes Park that are actually grade E.
