No: the proposal involves TfL subsidising rail services outside the GLA
area (like the Croxley link, in which £16m of Londoners' money will be
used to improve Hertfordshire's rail connections). The relevant
services will be only those where the vast majority of the route is
within the GLA area, but where the logical terminating point is not.
This already happens on London Underground and works rather well.

The governance arrrangements on p15/16 state that services will only be
changed if a local government body for the relevant bit of not-GLA-land
agrees: the only exception is if TfL introduces a new subsidised
service to benefit non-GLA commuters and then decides to withdraw it
again, which seems fair enough.

So why aren't the citzens of Shrewsbury represented on the Welsh Assembly?

Because most pax from Salop head towards Crewe or the West Midlands.

Humm. Pity the former WMPTE didn't adopt TfL's ideas.
