Powerlink and Connect both remain in place. No doubt someone will post
something to the opposite, but I am not aware of any serious rumours
about bringing those in house.


Also the Northern line rolling stock is provided by Alstom under a PFI
deal (a "whole life train service provision contract" or some such
similar thing).

The Northern line trains, Powerlink and Connect are all PFI contracts
- "PPP" solely refers to the infraco arrangements, UIVMM.
