1 The Merseyrail BR support figures have been restated on a comparable basis to the franchise agreement and include budgeted payments from Merseyside PTE.
2 Not covered by the franchise.
3 The Year 1 franchise payment to the full year equivalent payment that appears in the franchise agreement to allow for accurate comparisons.

All the franchises except Merseyrail commenced on 5 January 1997. Merseyrail will complete at a later date.

Therefore there is an overlap between the amount paid to BR and the franchise payment year 1.

Payments to the Franchising Director appear as negative amounts.

All payments are real amounts.

Advisor costs are correct to December 1996.
