I'm fully in support of the 2021 Geezer-Shapps Plan for London Transport.
Anyone criticising these fantastic plans for our fantastic railways must be very unpatriotic because we went to great lengths to work "Great British" into the name AND we stuck a flag on it.

I love it!
Can we start a crowdfund and get you in as Mayor next time around?

On a less cynical note, TfL’s control of the railways has been nothing less than exemplary. Living in a 100% London Overground area I am always shocked by how the “other half live” in areas such as South London where the Mayor never managed to take over.
It has to be a good thing (silly patriotic branding aside) that the TfL model is being extended nationwide.

Rumours that Chris Grayling has been recruited as an 'advisor' at a salary of £10,0000 per month for twenty hours of work are entirely inevitable.

Well last time the government took over, they slipped the word "regional" in between London and Transport.
1984, in more ways than one?

Having recently finished reading "Eleven Minutes Late" by Matthew Engel (2009) on the lamentable history of our railway system - and the even more lamentable Transport Ministers who had the misfortune of being given the job of sorting it out - I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

We will demonstrate our commitment to levelling up by extending the Bakerloo Line to Glasgow.
GB Railfreight Ltd. (GBRf) must be over the moon that there is now a similarly named rail organisation.
Grant Shapps is currently working on the next set of excuses for not transferring the rest of the London suburban rail network to the Overground.

Given recent the Transport for London funding agreements, one can only assume this has been a goal for quite some time...

Christ, I only wish! They'll bungle it, though, because they always do.

I'm surprised that today so far there has been no announcement of a new Great British Broadc - well you get the idea of of that...

Since bringing back iconic vintage vehicles onto the bus network was obviously a vote winner for the then mayor, how about steam traction on the Metropolitan?

Maybe just add a couple of extra letters, and you could be onto something - "Greater London Transport".

you joke, but tendering individual tube lines is what the paris regional government is planning to do for the metro and RER... it's uh,, not the wisest choice
basically any newly built line has to be tendered, and the existing network has to be put to tender in the coming years.
