I absolutely agree that safety is paramount. It is also the case, though, for the current users of the network who may be impacted due to overuse. We want to encourage people to use the rail network. We must also, though, take into consideration when it is dangerous for people to use the service. People are fainting on the trains because of the overcapacity. I ask Mr. Doocey to have a look at the existing fleet to see if some carriages could be freed up to put on the back of what is a substandard service. There are only three trains in the morning. We need to encourage people to use the service. The alternative is that people will jump in their cars and join the long queues on the N11, which nobody wants. I will leave it at that for now.

I call Deputy Bennett.
