OEPs are to be discontinued in May.


Interesting news - a relatively easy "win" to headline the rail summit
that will be well received by everyone, including the Mayor's critics.
I wonder how much arm twisting has been applied in the background to get
to this point?


Probably not much, given that they haven't ever (or at least not after
the first couple of weeks when everyone realised just how stupid they
were) been enforced.
