It’s hugely important that we start to think of Sunday as a day that is not exactly like any other day, of course, but similar in terms of people’s work patterns. We are no longer a Sabbatarian nation and people do travel on Sundays, and, quite often, the public transport networks don’t reflect that. It is something that we will reflect on as part of the franchise negotiations. It’s hugely important that people are able to travel to work on a Sunday, as many people do now work, particularly in the retail sector, on a Sunday. So, this is something that we will consider as part of the roll-out of the metro and as part of the franchise.
