Yesterday I saw some poster on the tube advertising how great TFL are. I can't remember which one it was but I know it bugged me because I thought is that actually 100% true.
I do know though that it was not one of the posters that states that TFL doesn't make profits and reinvests all the money it takes in the service which also bugs me. The statement as written might be true but isn't it misleading? It is always trotted out by those campaining for TFL to take over London rail routes so it is obviously believed by many people.
However is t the position of TFL with regard to rail one where there are like the Dept of Transport? They are awarding the contract to run the service? The Dept of Transport doesn't make a profit. It is the operator of the trains that aims to make a profit and that applies whether it is a government awarded franchise / contract or one awarded by TFL
