I think Mayor Khan ought to concentrate on getting Crossrail going first, where all seems to have gone quiet for the best part of a year now, rather than ignoring that and trying to grab something else.
Regarding station staffing and TfL commitments to it, the recent Thameslink accident at Elstree (see RAIB report) showed that although three members of staff were apparently on duty at the station, including one supposedly on platform duties, they were nowhere around when the PTI accident happened. So staffing is not the be all and end all of safety.
