    does that mean that freedom pass holders will get free travel all the >>>>> way to Taplow?

    Does it mean ghost stations like Iver will be permanently staffed?



    Would be interesting to know where the boundary will be at the
    western end of the Elizabeth line?

    Boundary of TfL ownership? I presume Taplow will be it.

    So Taplow is within the GLA's bailiwick, bur Watford is not!


    Watford High Street station is.

    No, the services operated by TfL are. The GLA has no direct ownership
    or responsibility of the infrastructure.

    Watford High Street station is.

    .. in Hertfordshire as is any part of the DC/WCML north of the county
    boundary between Hatch End and Carpenders Park.
    There is nothing new about local government bodies (in this case TfL)
    having responsibilities outwith their boundaries, the main prior
    railway example being the Metropolitan Line past the boundary north of Northwood. Long-standing non-railway examples include the City of
    London with parks and housing outwith the capital or in pre-NHS days
    many county hospitals located in neighbouring counties.

    the land around may not be

    but according to reports, the railway station operation is

    Surely that's the point of discussion in a transport group
