BBC London News on BBC1 is reporting this tonight - but I'm confused.
After Metronet failed and TfL bought out the Tube Lines contract I

AIUI, Tube Lines is now a wholly owned subsidiary of TfL, but is still
organisationally separate from LU (which now includes ex-Metronet) -
the plan is to merge it into LU over time.
