Well, there is, and you may deny it but TfL's business plan does not deny it. So how are you going to convince anyone that TfL will be able to deliver the improvements if you are not top-slicing off everything else?

Do not be ridiculous, Ken! The point is you want it to be real and you want the IOC to believe it, and it is my job to question it. We both want to find the problems so we can sort them out, not to denigrate the bid; that is a ridiculous political attack. I will move on to another hole which you have to answer. There is a funding hole appearing in TfL's strategy.

I really hope you are right, but for me that one is just a `pinch of salt" at the moment and from our experience to date. Can I focus on another suggestion which was that of the 24-hour Tube, which as we know is not in the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contract? What is the current status of the 24-hour Tube promises?

When are you going to set the standards? Who will formulate the standards?

When are you going to set the standards, and who will actually formulate standards? You did an awful lot of waffling with that answer, I must say. There is nothing solid in it. I am quite disappointed.

Barbara, how are you planning to use those stories, those opportunities, to really build enthusiasm among Londoners? Because there is some scepticism particularly from those who are more physically remote from the Lea Valley. There is some scepticism around whether they will benefit and these are the ways of engaging them. Can you give us some ideas of how you will be doing that?
