The answers to your questions are scatted throughout several threads on the boards, however to save trawling through them this is what we know:- (1) The branch WILL be transferred to TfL control, the TfL takeover being a condition (as with the Romford - Upminster shuttle) of the mayor getting control of the West Anglia branches to Chingford, Endfield and Cheshunt (via Severn Sisters). The DfT Consultation states that it will stay with the new Great Western franchise.

At Kings Cross yesterday, I saw a station assistant helping a passenger by entering a PIN into a passenger ticket machine, which then brought up a menu where he could apply discounts and resolve journeys (as far as I could see)
Is this new functionality?

Well, in the tubes I guess there would be the question of whether there is room for it. I know that overhead rails were considered as part of the Victoria line "Space Train" proposal. My question is more aimed at (for example) whether overhead electrification of the Chiltern lines would be workable, or would this lead to issues with Metropolitan trains (still using live rails)?

Are there any issues with overhead electrification of a line that LUL trains use?
