All Operators/modes are going to need to do something. You can't dump up thousands of people a day in to the transport network without it breaking.

Metro is at capacity without significant investment. I'm not sure where the additional DMU trains are for Northern. The short and medium solution has to be bus. Be that enhanced frequencies, Park and Ride. Express buses or a mix of all three.

Local authorities will have to step up as well - I just hope the "active" travel merchants that riddle these organisations are shot in to the sun with regards this issue. The last thing needed is even further reduced road space for mass people movers (buses) on the approaches to the city. I know three people that are going to be moving in, and they ain't getting on a bike!
