I asked a question about the growth in services. The fact that passenger numbers on buses and rail increased recently is very welcome. It is a very welcome sign. It shows that the economy may be improving. There was a sharp decline in people using buses because people were out of work but that trend has been reversed, which is a very hopeful sign that will probably lead to a growth in bus and rail services generally.
