I wanted just to get an update on the three train, the elevator installation.

1:09:32

Can you provide an updated timeline for the installation of the elevators at the Ashford Street Train Station or Newlot Street Train Station.

1:09:42

As well as are there any plans or any talks about expanding or the expansion of the three line into the southernmost part of my district which is as a transportation desert.

1:10:02

Are there any talks behind that?

1:10:05

And also wanted to well maybe you could answer that and then we can talk about congestive pricing.

Demetrius Crichlow

1:10:17

So I'm not familiar with the update.

1:10:21

I know we did start the work on on the elevators at at New New Locks.

1:10:26

Correct.

1:10:26

But I could certainly follow-up with you on the progress.

1:10:31

The second thing you mentioned was sorry.

1:10:36

Expansion I'll tell you, I used to be a line manager on the three lines.

Chris Banks

1:10:40

Okay.

Demetrius Crichlow

1:10:41

And so I could tell you my personal feeling is I would love for the expansion to go.

1:10:48

We do have some additional projects that are going on that are being considered for the current capital program that would be impacting the the area over there.

1:10:56

We have a new shop that's gonna be built in order to take on the new cars.

1:11:01

We're gonna be looking at putting all new new cars on the the two, three, four, five.

1:11:07

And, you know, introducing in the future CBTC for for those lines.

1:11:12

In order to do so, you have to have a new shop.

1:11:14

The shop there the shop there is ancient.

1:11:18

Right.

1:11:19

And, you know, in the long term I do I don't know the exact

Chris Banks

1:11:25

Timeframe.

Demetrius Crichlow

1:11:26

You know, timeframe for anything beyond that.
