Programme
The aim is to have the first sert services up and running in 2012. An application needs to be made to the Government to secure some of the funding for the proposals, which we aim to do in March 2010. When the Government has considered this, and the other funding sources are in place, we will put the infrastructure contracts out to tender and strike deals with the companies that will operate the sert services. Construction work will follow and then sert will be on the road.
