Not a new idea of course - the London Regional Rail Authority concept

plans to wrest more control over to TfL of London area rail services
are to be welcomed I reckon

As long as it doesn't mean my 377s are replaced by 378s, or the
focus becomes entirely on zone 1 with a "there be dragons"
approach to anything which heads beyond zone 6.

Personally I'd like to see my 315s replaced with a better laid out
carriage and the 378 lay out would probably be the best for the
crush crowds on the Shenfield Metro.

But I agree about the beyond Zone 6 attitude (although if Oyster
PAYG was extended to some of those stations it would be a
significant improvement).

What will happen to the 315s after Crossrail?
