Boris bid to run every rail service in London


Boris Johnson today made a bid to take over every rail service in
London in a move described as the biggest shake-up since
privatisation.

The Mayor wants to control all suburban railways and introduce a
one-ticket system across Greater London.

Haven't we got one? Or would this be about squishing those nasty
point-to-point rail seasons in favour of multi-modal travelcards... at
twice the price. Or even breaking through ticketing to the world beyond
the M25.

In his most dramatic campaign pledge so far in his fight to be
re-elected, Mr Johnson said the "devolution of power" to City Hall
would lead to lower fares. The plan would put him in charge of key
commuter routes from outlying areas.

As in Worcester, King's Lynn, Dover, Exeter - or just more TOCs per
terminus?
