What Would Boris Do?
An announcement from the Transport Secretary suggests that the Government
is taking seriously the Mayor's demand for more powers over London's commuter
rail network.
Boris Johnson has made various boasts that he would increase both train
frequency and staff numbers at stations. As far as I know, he has not
explained how he would finance this.
Quite apart from any reservations about giving Boris Johnson more control
over anything, does anyone see any advantage in handing over control
to the Mayor and TfL?
