Ms Anne Graham:

As part of many programmes for Government, we have the viresto develop transport strategies. In that, one would set the infrastructure requirements for urban rail in our regional cities. At the moment, we are doing it on a non-statutory basis. Having that in place gives us a little more power in determining what should be in place for urban rail within the regional cities. We would still look and assess our rail system whether we have the viresor not and put forward the appropriate rail infrastructure, whether it is electrified or not, as part of the development of those strategies. That is our position at present.
