It was very noticeable to me when I was Secretary of State that one of the things that mayors were asking central government for money for was to try to deliver more integrated transport solutions. One thing that mayors were able to do was to look at the delivery of bus services, trams, light rail and rail services, think about how they all fitted together and use their convening powers and their investment to deliver that more integrated approach. Certainly, when I was Secretary of State, central government was very keen to support that.
