Mr. Stephen Kent:

On the Expressway route X12, we do not have a plan to restore that route at the minute. On most of the routes, when we analyse all the cohorts, we find they are made up of commuters, people who travel for retail, people travelling for the airport, tourism and so on. At the moment, the corridor is well served. There has been a lot of competition on that route which has been an essential element. From our perspective, it is supply versus demand and being able to make a sustainable return on the route is very challenging in our view. That is the difficult decision we have in that regard.

That is currently not there but anything related to connectivity issues and so on is absolutely a matter for the NTA. If we are asked to participate in a process, we will do that. Effectively, as we see it, the route at the moment is not viable and would ultimately require funding support if it was to be continued. That is just the pure, hard, commercial and economic call that we are forced to make.
