Well, wonderful, but we need to see that now, and it does not take away from the issue that this has already been resolved. In other areas, Northern Rail in particular, where they took that action on time, they managed to get the dispensation. Now, whether Welsh Government was chancing that there wouldn't be a UK election, that there wouldn't be other distractions for civil servants, I'm not sure, but we need that announcement from Welsh Government here today that this is happening and not that talks are ongoing, otherwise commuters, rail users using these trains, dependent on these trains for their well-being, for their work, will be hugely concerned as we head towards the last day of 2019.
