time I looked Epping wasn't in london either , perhaps the central
line should be cut back to a skeleton service too?

AFAIK Epping Forest Council subsidises the frequent service.

Obviously the cheques for the Ongar branch subsidy got lost in the
post then.

Maybe LU should run every Metro in the world, all paid for by London
ratepayers?

What a dumb comment.

Presumably you'd be happy for national rail to be divied up over
county boundaries too? So for example if York decided to stop paying
subsidies to the ECML then tough , no trains from london to edinburgh!
Good idea? The tubes subsidy should come entirely from central
government just like NR and all these tin pot little town councillers
could just **** off and worry about lost cats or litter which is more
their level of expertise.
