It is Mr. Edwards's fault that we are here, although in a good way. It is to his credit we are all here because it was on foot of a visit to his depot that I said we wanted to discuss the problems and blockages in the system. Post Covid there are blockages everywhere, including with work permits and passports. The issue with passports has improved immensely. We are coming out of that process. It is wonderful to see so many people using public transport. Initially, there was serious concern that numbers had not returned to back to pre-pandemic levels but on most routes, those levels are now being exceeded. Considering that people are still regularly working from home, that is miraculous and a testament to how good the services provided by the transport companies are. Mr. Edwards has something to add.
