I'm in little doubt these transfers will be success stories - the
to-be-Crossrail Shenfield route is inevitable, but I'm thinking
particularly of the West Anglia metro routes.

It might not be quite the 'immediate overnight success story' that the
NLL transfer was - I think in significant part the immediate passenger
figure jump on the NLL was down to lots of existing users actually
starting to pay their fares! But since then the numbers have of course
continued to rise considerably.

Good luck to TfL Rail, LOROL and MTR Crossrail.

I hope that they do last a while. The amount of changes in TOCs on the
Lea Valley Lines has made me lose track.

It reminds me of an episode of the U.S. animated sitcom "The Simpsons,"
called "Blame it on Lisa."

The Simpson family had received an unexpectedly large phone bill, and
Marge said that she would go staighten it out at the phone company's
office.

Find the dialogue below, which I think is quite apt when discussing TOCs
on LVL.

"We'll just go down to the phone company and straighten it out."

Which phone company? There are hundreds of them.

"And they all keep changing their names."

"I think we're with Comquaaq."

"No, I think its Niagular."

"No, last week they became Vertiqual."
