Do we need a note about Peter Hendy and Tim O' Toole, (Manager Directors for Surface Transport and the Underground, respectivly), who were awarded the CBE in the New Year's Honours list?

Also, a few employees were also awarded the MBE, I think. This was all because of the work done on July 7th

P.S - A mention of the controversy surrounding the route master, and its removal?


kk - I'm gonna go ahead with adding this stuff, so there :D Moubiness

Surely, TFL's responsibility for non-tube railways in London is minimal. I understand it can only advise rail-operators. This may change as urban rail such as parts of Silverlink Metro are transferred to the mayor.

[edit] Removed incoherent paragraph

I've removed the following paragraph:

There is a separate division of the underground for PPP contract purposes: JNP, BCV and SSL (Sub Surface Lines). JNP is as above, but the Waterloo & City line is included in BCV instead of SSL.

on the grounds that it is incoherent. It says there is a (singular) separate division, but then seems to talk to talk about division of responsibility between multiple entities. If I understood what it was trying to say I would correct it, but I don't so I'm moving it here so someone who does can rework it and reinsert it. -- Chris j wood 11:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

What exactly are JNP, BCV and SSL?

The maintenance and upgrading of the London Underground Network is carried out by different companies. Tube Lines in responsible for the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly Lines (JNP), Metronet BCV is responsible for the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria Lines (BCV) as well as the Waterloo and City Line, whilst Metronet SSL (sub surface lines) is responsible for the District, Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan, Circle and East London lines.
