I got an idea. Let's just turn the entire network, from Penzance to
Wick, orange.


Indeed. Its really not very well thought out if this is an official TfL
mock up. And what the obsession with TfL taking over all the south london
lines is god knows. Anyone who thinks the unions will give them an
easy time
because they're a public corp rather than a TOC has obviously been
living in a
cave for the last 20 years.

The seem to think that they can magic up slots to provide a 10 minute
frequency on every route

whilst this might work on the routes that terminate inside (or just
outside) of the London "Zone", this is not going to work for the routes
which carry main line services to the coast

So they are going to increase the frequency of the Epsom, Kingston,
Chhessington & Hampton Court lines.

Where are the extra paths going to come from through Wimbledon?
