	abstract = {We present a 30h integration Very Large Telescope X-shooter spectrum of 
the Lyman series forest towards the \$z = 7.084\$ quasar ULAS J1120+0641.
The only detected transmission at \$\{{\textbackslash}rm S/N\}{\textgreater}5\$ is confined to seven
narrow spikes in the Ly\${\textbackslash}alpha\$ forest, over the redshift range
\$5.858 5.5\$. The data
nevertheless provide only a weak limit on the volume-weighted hydrogen
intergalactic (IGM) neutral fraction at \$z{\textbackslash}sim 6.5\$, \$x\_\{\{{\textbackslash}rm HI\}\} {\textgreater}
10{\textasciicircum}\{-4\}\$, similar to limits at redshift \$z{\textbackslash}sim6\$ from less distant
quasars. The new observations cannot extend measurements of the neutral
fraction of the IGM to higher values because absorption in the
Ly\${\textbackslash}alpha\$ forest is already saturated near \$z{\textbackslash}sim6\$. For higher neutral
fractions, other methods such as measuring the red damping wing of the
IGM will be required.},
