I would appreciate if Mr. Doocey would.

Coming back to the carriages, I am really unclear as to why we are not ordering more. It is obvious to me and anyone else that we need to increase our public transport capacity with carriages, buses etc. Not ordering more carriages is alarming. I cannot understand what the blocker is. Why have we not ordered more carriages since 2022?
