Although alternative funding mechanisms are being looked
into by Transport for London, it is unlikely that any firm decisions
will emerge until the outcome of the current rail industry review in
the early summer.


First off - thanks for posting the info

cynic mode

I would not hold your breath about a decision before the Party
Conferences in Autumn. I doubt very much whether anything remotely
constructive will emerge from the rail industry review apart from a
barrage of criticism which Government will then mull over and make some
sort of announcement about after the summer recess.

The only way an early Summer announcement could come about is if Ken
win's the London Mayoral election and the ELLX is given to him to
implement as "a reward" and measure of good faith for his second term.
