The 'South London Overground' and the Mayoral election

My question is thus a simple one - if Boris Johnson is elected next week instead of Ken Livingstone, would government ministers be at all keen to go ahead with a plan that allows TfL to takeover - or at least have a substantial role to play in the running of - the South London Metro routes, which would effectively hand him an early victory, one which was basically the result of Ken Livingstone's long-term game plan, or would they just pull the plug on it all? If they did, Johnson (and Cameron, in all probability) would absolutely slaughter them in the press for blatant party political point-scoring. I hope they wouldn't, but they are politicians. |
