Is there not a plan, however, for the TfL Empire to take over the
Thameslink lime out to Brighton?


Was there not someone suggesting that TfL management could be drafted in
to try and sort out the slow-motion train wreck that is Southern/GTR?
Not something that has ever been Mayoral / TfL policy. Nor something I'd
imagine anyone in TfL would actually want to do.


Given the situation at Southern/GTR is a fight between a reactionary
union and a reactionary DfT I can't see TfL wanting to touch it with a
proverbial barge pole.


Quite! It's toxic, stay well away!
