  That’s interesting, I wonder how that interacts with the Greater London Authority Act, the legislation that give TfL its authority, and determines it obligations. Unfortunately I can’t find exact line in that act that outlines TfL obligations, but this article[1] quotes TfL’s CFO making this statement with regards to TfL obligations and it funding: > I think it will shock everybody, if you are to read the GLA Act, just what our minimum statutory obligations are as a transport authority. It does not include running a Tube service. It includes running a minimal bus service for children living more than two miles away from their school.
