Whether or not these amendments are drafted in the right way, I urge the Minister to think about how that need for integration can be reflected. It is complex: there is no point requiring GBR to deliver integrated services when the other bits are delivered by other people, but at least there should be a duty on GBR to think about these things and interact with other bodies, whether they are local authorities, elected mayors or other people who deliver transport services. By the way, that will also include the private sector. There are private sector mechanisms for getting to rail stations, and sharing data and making sure that that is seamless will give us a better transport system that is usable by more people, which will benefit the economy.
