Equally, Mr Mayor, the relationship is such that TfL, you control the fare box. So, if the bus drivers are having to help accommodate another 800,000 people on the buses every day during the Olympics, then that funding does come back I think to TfL. So clearly there is a responsibility for a service you commission, but I am encouraged by what you have had to say, Mr Mayor and Peter, and I just hope that you do not leave it there and think that you have acquitted your responsibility. If the employers do not respond, I would like to...

Thank you very much. I am pleased to hear you say that you think the employers and the unions should negotiate because the union has been very clear and is still saying that they have not had a single meeting with any of the employers, and I think there are 20, 21, involved in this, nor have they had a meeting with TfL to negotiate.

In respect of those improvements that you would hope to have an influence on, would you set minimum standards for staffing at stations?

Mr Mayor and Commissioner, the biggest environmental issue that TfL could help deal with is clearly poor air quality, given it has various powers, the Public Carriage Office, the Low Emission Zone, and congestion charging. I am just keen to see if we are going to see some new light at the beginning of the second term, and if I could start with Peter. It was interesting, when the Low Emission Zone was put out and set up, a comparison was made against road casualties. The problem was four times the numbers of people suffering road fatalities. Subsequently it is...

All right, OK, well I do not think I want to dispute that, but I think if I accepted, and from what you say, that it is part of your responsibility too to make sure that cyclists are kept safe and this blame-the-cyclist routine is something of a smokescreen to divert attention from that responsibility. I will give you a specific example: Henly's Corner. I am sure you are familiar with it because you visited it during the election and with a great fanfare you claimed credit for the remodelling of the junction, but in fact it is a lot...

How many will there be?

OK. Could you tell us, you mentioned Harrow on the Hill . There is also a question of Stanmore Station, Mr Mayor, where we have an acute problem of accessibility. Could you give me assurance that you will be making those stations accessible during the term of your office?

Of course. You have actually pre-empted a question I was going to ask about Euston's ability to cope without Crossrail 2 if HS2 does go ahead. Do you think it is the case, then, that HS2 cannot go ahead into Euston if we do not get Crossrail 2?

Thank you, Chair. I want to return, if you do not mind, to the greater involvement with surface rail. I am going to focus particularly on my constituents and the rail routes that run through that, but I think these are probably applicable to others as well. One of the concerns that has been I know raised is the concern that politicians, MPs and councillors have in Kent and other Home Counties, not so much that their constituents will be disadvantaged under your tenure as Mayor, but that if there was a change of political leadership here at City Hall...

Do you think there need to be any alterations made to the currently safeguarded route?
