Its either the *london* underground or it isn't. All this
who-pays-for- what over county boundaries that only matter to failed
wannabe politicians in town halls is just petty and pathetic. Last
time I looked Epping wasn't in london either , perhaps the central
line should be cut back to a skeleton service too?

AFAIK Epping Forest Council subsidises the frequent service.

If they're going
to run a metro service they should run a metro service , not pretend
its some country branch line.

Maybe LU should run every Metro in the world, all paid for by London
ratepayers?

If it was physically possible for all those metros to deliver workers
and punters to central London, there might be an argument.

Have you not watched "Underground Ernie"?! There appear to be
connections to - at least - systems in Sydney, Paris and Moscow!
