Well London Tories anyway!
Do we always do what London wants - maybe not post 23 June! A lot of these lines extend out to Kent, Surrey and Sussex - whose residents have no vote for the Mayor of London or TfL so there would be no democratic accountability. They can at least get a say in choosing the government and influence the Secretary of State. There is a risk those non London services could be cut to increase those in London for people who actually have a vote for the Mayor. be pathetically gratefully to have TFL take over. |

Southern trains mostly go long distance and just stop at places in London en route.Anything local would use the same lines in competition with long distance trains for customers, track and platforms. It would be ridiculous having TFL and the London mayor, controlling trains from Brighton and Hastings.
its also irrelevant to the problems - which are bottlenecks in built up areas that need more lines built , Nimbyism blocking options, lack of money to make the changes needed to meet demand, and the hard left dominated RMT, that's intent on striking for its own political reasons. Bottlenecks are not the issue either, Southern need to employ enough drivers, not the 80% they have one and stop allowing the DFT to meddle. Works are needed on signals but even when strikes are not in play staff shortages are key to poor performance |

Another leak, this time a letter from current Transport Minister Chris Grayling to Boris Johnson over Boris's desire as London Mayor for TfL to take control of trains in London...

Yet another deceitful BReximoron exposed.
Why demean what was a very good point with the insult?

Has any Tory supported Grayling in his decision?

Pretty much like Cameron and Osborne refusing to build council houses because it would create Labour voters.
