This last question links to that, to be fair. To get the optimum operation out of the Luas across College Green, I note many trams are practically empty going south from Marlborough Street. Pedestrians, when they are getting off Dublin Bus services on O'Connell Street, do not have sight of the tram stops, the real-time information and when a Luas is coming. One would not necessarily walk down to Marlborough Street speculatively to get on a tram and then have to walk back to get a bus. What are Mr. Lunden-Welden's thoughts on whether there should be real-time signs installed on O'Connell Street to get the most out of College Green? Right now, there is congestion on College Green but we may not be getting the optimum number of passengers going south. I have certainly noticed that and I imagine the data bear it out as well. There is a great deal of congestion going north, and also southbound from Dawson Street, but maybe overall Luas overcrowding is a topic for another day.

Finally, I wish to hear Mr. Lunden-Welden's thoughts on the proposed changes that have been made by Dublin Bus and whether Transdev feels that this will go some way to addressing the congestion at College Green.
