Ms Anne Graham:

The minimum services per day I was talking about earlier was related to bus services because that is what we were considering regarding Connecting Ireland. As Mr. Gaston said, we are looking at what the timetables should be for the rail services nationally but what can be delivered in the short term is based on the resources - trains and train drivers - that we have available. Additional funding is also needed in this area. The funding was not provided to put on additional rail services this year. Our focus for today was on bus services and improving our Local Link services.
