"TfL announced earlier this month that it was taking over the running
of 11 stations between Acton Main Line and Taplow from December 10."
"The Elizabeth line is going to transform travel across the capital
and it?s only right that every station will have step-free access."

Are Londoners paying for improvements to Taplow and Burnham?

does that mean that freedom pass holders will get free travel all the
way to Taplow?

Does it mean ghost stations like Iver will be permanently staffed?



Would be interesting to know where the boundary will be at the
western end of the Elizabeth line?

Boundary of TfL ownership? I presume Taplow will be it.

So Taplow is within the GLA's bailiwick, bur Watford is not!


No, the services operated by TfL are. The GLA has no direct ownership
or responsibility of the infrastructure.

Watford High Street station is.

... in Hertfordshire as is any part of the DC/WCML north of the county
boundary between Hatch End and Carpenders Park.
There is nothing new about local government bodies (in this case TfL)
having responsibilities outwith their boundaries, the main prior
railway example being the Metropolitan Line past the boundary north of
Northwood. Long-standing non-railway examples include the City of
London with parks and housing outwith the capital or in pre-NHS days
many county hospitals located in neighbouring counties.
