Ms Anne Graham:

We still have quite a number of questions to respond to. I refer to Deputy Curran's questions about the next stage and concerns about changes to the network in advance of the bus corridors being put in place. There is still a benefit to be gained in making changes to services because they would still make for better connections across the city. We do not yet know what the connections will be and will be bringing them to the committee's attention in September when we have revised the network on the basis of the submissions received. We still think there is a benefit to be gained in providing an improved service, even in advance of the bus corridors being improved. There will then be an additional benefit in improved journey times when we have improved the bus corridors, but the benefits of having better connections and a much more integrated bus system should not be held back until the bus corridor improvements have been made.
