I don't know whether TL2K is pitched to try to attract some people out

Crossrail was. If so, they're probably making a mistake - there's not
much rail can do to solve M25 congestion.


It may not solve M25 congestion, but it would allow individuals to
avoid it by encouraging park and ride.

Park and ride to where? If to central London, then those individuals
won't use the M25 for the greater part of their journey. The M25 has
encouraged a whole host of local and medium distance orbital journeys
which are extremely difficult to address with public transport.
