Finally, I am very happy to get the good news about the judicial review on the DART+ West being withdrawn this week and very happy that the Minister was able to announce the start of tendering for enabling works for DART+ South West. In a constituency like mine, where bus is the predominant mode of public transport, opening up access to things like rail and light rail is really important to commuters.

One of the Department's Votes is based on innovation and new research. Has any thought been given to giving some research time towards high-speed rail and scoping that out for the country?
