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...

Odd - Mr Gilligan says Hendy will be gone by the summer in his Standard
article today. The only reason for delay is that potential replacements
are asking too much money. Gilligan also says that Boris needs a rail
experienced commissioner rather than a bus one - odd given that Mr Hendy
has a large amount of knowledge about all the modes he's responsible
for.

The other rumour I've heard today is that Steve Norris will be
Commissioner - note not Chair of the TfL Board but Commissioner. Still
I'm sure all the rumour will solidify soon enough.
