So suggests this report, based on a meeting of the London Assembly's Transport Committee - Kent County Council being the active objector to the TfL rail takeover plan in revenge: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-33066006 Hopefully it'll be an idea that'll surface again in the future - so long as TfL does a good job on their new West Anglia metro routes. um, just where is the proof of the statement "But not only did it take a dim view, it exacted revenge on the mayor " It just seems to be made up ******** to me Watch the transport committee webcast and listen to what the reps from Kent CC said. I've watched all 2.5 hours of it and I'm very clear about what was said. Tom Edwards of the BBC was at City Hall during the meeting so he may have put a journalistic flourish on what was said but the basic detail is correct. Kent CC objected to the Estuary Airport and refused to agree to the rail devolution proposal. None of that is contested but where the proof of the link? tim |
