MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:38):</by>  I do not have that figure with me. If we were attempting to answer that question we would try to estimate what level of patronage there is at that time of the year, in January, bearing in mind that there are virtually no school students using the trains at that time, there are far fewer university students using the trains at that time, and there are fewer workers using that train corridor at that time. I would have to come back to the member for Mitchell with some estimate, if possible.</text>
