Just been announced that the government is to give Ken authority over
all railways "within the GLA area".

Conversely what would happen to the NR staff who currently get 75% on LUL
services and nothing on the buses? As I understand it, everything is on a
reciprocal arrangement, but with the hiving off of rail services in the
GLA area to the Mayor (an excellent idea IMO) it's an interesting point.

Unfortunately it's not all reciprocal. When Connex ran buses and trains
their bus employees got free Connex rail travel but TfL didn't allow
Connex's rail employees free bus travel. To be honest I wouldn't hold my
breath :-(

So then surely the Zones 1-A free staff travel will still apply.

Exactly the same as the old GLC boundary (except where it's been
changed). It's marked on all good maps.

Nowhere. Take it from me: go along it far enough and you'll get back
where you started.
