When I was travelling here this morning there was a car crash off the M4 on the M50. The result of that was absolute gridlock. While the witness says that we predominantly use our roads, those roads are at capacity. There is also an issue with climate change in terms of CO2 emissions. I accept the comment about rail and the fact that there is only one user. However, if there is enough of the single user on the tracks, does the witness not believe it could make a huge impact in removing congestion from the roads, helping with our CO2 emissions and providing a fast, reliable and effective public transport service to the areas it might serve?
