00:00 I can't improve it other than if it goes a little bit further, maybe to Doncaster or,
00:09 you know, so you could get to both sides.
00:12 Where do you get on it?
00:14 I get on it at Parkgate, Retail World.
00:17 So I have to catch a bus to get to Retail World to catch the train.
00:20 It's much easier.
00:21 So if it went a little bit further towards Makesborough and Doncaster and Barnesleave
00:27 and I don't know how that would work, but those are the places we'd need to get.
00:33 I think I want to extend it a little, touch in areas that need to.
00:38 Maybe one that goes right up to the hospitals.
00:41 Which hospitals?
00:42 Halamshire, Western Park.
00:43 So at this moment I'm going to the hospital, but I've got to get off at the University
00:51 of Stock, people that may be, you know, disabled, it's a bit of a struggle to get up there.
01:02 And yeah, I mean, at Parkgate we're going to have an extension of about a couple of
01:07 hundred yards which makes it to the park and ride, that's good.
01:12 And yeah, I'm glad the Mayor's taken over, you know, and all the profits can go back
01:17 into it.
01:18 Yeah, it's good.
01:19 We ought to be proud of it.
01:22 Just that it runs well and that staff are happy and, well, with any luck it can generate
01:28 some income for the region.
01:29 So that would be awesome.
01:30 Should it be extended?
01:31 Yes.
01:32 Where to?
01:33 Everywhere.
01:33 Fletching. Everywhere!
