TfL's grand vision for turning London's suburban overground services into

I got an idea. Let's just turn the entire network, from Penzance to
Wick, orange.

Indeed. Its really not very well thought out if this is an official TfL
mock up. And what the obsession with TfL taking over all the south london
lines is god knows. Anyone who thinks the unions will give them an easy time
because they're a public corp rather than a TOC has obviously been living in a
cave for the last 20 years.

This is ill thought out nonsense. It looks to me like Mr Kahn wants
to leave his mark (fundamentally change London?)

This scheme was started during the previous mayor's tenure. Sadiq is just
continuing with Boris's plan.
