Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to transfer more surface railways to Transport for London.
As demonstrated by the various routes and services devolved to Transport for London (TfL) since 2007, the Department for Transport is committed to transferring services to local control where there is a business case for doing so.
In May 2018, Heathrow Connect services are due to be transferred to TfL control in preparation for full operation of Crossrail.
