The FT is reporting that MTR Crossrail are seeking agreement from TfL for a two year extension to their concession contract. This is the extension permitted under the contract but is normally linked to demonstrated performance. This is because the construction delays have not allowed them to meet their obligations / demonstrate their ability to operate the service in the Core. The FT article is paywalled sadly - if you have a subscription or sign off then it is visible.
If you provide the headline then people can usually Google the headline and by following the link from Google can view the full article (as a minimum once). It works from a mobile better than desktop.
It’s obviously not surprising that MTR want the extension (subject to performance) because they’ve had no chance to demonstrate their performance.
