Context
The question arises from discussions about extending Transport for London's management to additional commuter services, particularly regarding Great Northern inner services.
I am concerned that while the Mayor of London and I have discussed the proposed devolution of Great Northern inner services to Transport for London in November, it would be very controversial to introduce such a measure for all Overground and National Rail services. Are the ongoing conversations about the entirety of the network or are they limited to just one service?
Discussions at present are limited to the potential transfer of services that form part of the Great Northern inner network. This is a complex matter, but I acknowledge the benefits of integrating certain commuter lines into London Overground and making them part of that network if there is agreement with local authorities along those lines.
