Roger Evans AM: In Havering and Redbridge we are now experiencing TfL management of the railway line that is going to become Crossrail. It runs in to Liverpool Street. It is quite interesting because we are seeing a lot more of a proactive attitude on the part of the staff there than there was before TfL took over.
