Mr. Tim Gaston:

We will examine the Deputy's suggestion on Hazelhatch station. I cannot remember the details, but I believe we considered such a route in the design's early stages and there was a good reason for ruling it out. I apologise, as I cannot remember exactly what that was, but we will examine the matter again and revert to the Deputy on the matter.

The Deputy mentioned a loop. Now or afterwards, she might send me the detail of where she believes it could be.

We were acutely aware of the bridge when we designed the W6. We believed there might be a way of managing traffic across it to allow buses to run in both directions, but in discussions with the local authority and following closer examination of the idea, we realised that that would not work. A great deal of land would need to be taken up and there is a steep fall-away on the land immediately approaching the bridge. Getting to the point where buses could pass on the bridge would be a big job.
