TfL eyes Southeastern routes

摘要

Addressing the All-Party Parliamentary Rail Group on November 7, Deputy Mayor for Transport and TfL Deputy Chair Isabel Dedring made it clear from the start that Transport for London is determined to seize the opportunity offered by the end of the Southeastern franchise in April 2014 to take control of the inner-suburban routes to Dartford, Orpington and Hayes. 'In particular, we have been making the case to officials in the Department for Transport about what we would like to see', she said. 'Specifically, we are bidding to be the franchise holder for the southeast which is coming up now'.
