Hmm. I suspect DfT would gladly have *tried* to impose it on Ken;
however, what with Ken being competent at transport planning,
massively experienced at arguing with central government, and actually
caring about what happens to Londoners, I also suspect they would have
failed.

Since Boris is inept, inexperienced, and doesn't give a ****, it's
hardly surprising they succeeded here.
