Uber loses licence to operate in London, will still operate while appealing

TFL should actually provide a reliable service if they want to start pointing fingers. They talk about security and safety but it's not safe to have to wait around hoping for the off chance a scammy black cab will spot you after your TFL train gets cancelled for whatever reason.

It sounds like you've never been to London? Who says 'TFL train'?

I live in London mate, I was making a distinction between a train that is operated by TFL and a train that is not. I also didn't call it a tube because I was referring more to the overground.

Ah, fair enough, you’re making the distinction for others to understand.

The Overground has always worked well for me, it’s unreliable for you?

TFL Rail is the name for TFL's temporary services either side of what will be Crossrail. Once Crossrail opens to the public it will all become Crossrail / The Elizabeth Line even those services that don't actually go under London.

So TFL do operate trains, even ignoring London Overground which is in effect also TFL.
