I know one of the concerns that many of us have in this Chamber, including myself, is the overcrowding and the relatively poor service some commuters get on Overground services into or through London. We know that TfL has suggested that they would like to bid for franchises that may be coming up in the future. The next one up is Thames Link Southern franchise, which actually incorporates the Great Northern, which runs through my constituency. Can I ask, is TfL considering bidding for that franchise?

Could I ask, would that greater control be running the franchises themselves or having a partnership where you set the franchise terms?
