From the print edition

London has built about as good a transport network as it could, given
its constraints. Time to remove the constraints

[snip]

Basically they are proposing bringing back Network South East and
giving it to TfL.


Not at all. TfL won't get near the likes of Exeter and King's Lynn.


Exactly, TfL doesn't want to get much outside the Greater London area. The
WA routes being transferred are essentially entirely within London.
