Partly inspired by people's thoughts here, I've written a blog-post on
Boris and Peter Hendy/Tim O'Toole:

Exciting update information for utl readers: yesterday I played crazy
golf with the Times's Westminister correspondent and a corporate
finance bloke from TfL; they both reckon there's no chance in hell
that Boris is going to sack O'Toole, and that it's unlikely he'll sack
Hendy...

I don't reckon he would either, although to take the sensible option goes
against both what his campaign said (they accused Hendy of being a Ken
crony) and the views of a lot of rabid suburban Tories, as you point out.

Any idea whom he might get to chair TfL? The previous Chair might not be
to everyone's liking these days...


Am I missing something here. The previous chairman just got voted out. Isn't
Boris the ex officio new chair?
