Perhaps we could talk about the driver training programme. More fleet equipment can be ordered and built. There is a lead-in time, but it can be delivered over time. If the drivers are not in place, though, there is not much point in having extra trains. How is recruitment for drivers, as well as for maintenance staff and apprentices, progressing? We hear this is challenging.
