3.      That it be noted that Government’s Light Rail Funding offer had been extended until the 26 October 2020 which covers operating costs only, and there were ongoing discussions with DfT regarding future funding packages.

5.      That it be noted that further ticket options to ensure value and flexibility were being considered by TfGM.
