"Transport for London (TfL) has announced that MTR Laing and Go-Via have
been selected to submit a 'best and final offer' for the contract to run
London Overground services on the integrated North and East London
Railways, under the management of TfL."


Why can't TfL just run it themselves? Why does it have to be sub
contracted out?

Pity there wasn't a bit more vision and willpower with the ELL. For a
start the obvious continuation to Finsbury Park then take the line up
the old northern heights branch via highgate high level to terminate at
east finchley and interchange with the northern line.

Meanwhile , back in the real world...
