Enable Scotland will meet Transport Scotland to discuss in further detail the issues that have been raised. However, it is worth acknowledging the fact that the Scottish Government, along with ScotRail, has already worked to ensure that we do not have the same notice period of 24 hours, which is the norm across the rest of the United Kingdom. That has now been reduced to four hours, but that can still be an issue for some people. The new franchise allows us to encourage bidders to come forward and say whether they can improve that even further. We are aware of the campaign; it is a very good campaign, and we will engage with those who are behind it.
