The London Growth Plan, unveiled by Mayor Sadiq Khan, emphasizes further devolving suburban railways to Transport for London (TfL). This move, which includes the Great Northern and Southeastern franchises, aims to enhance urban transit and housing. TfL argues that managing these services would lead to standardized fares and improved reliability, potentially unlocking thousands of new homes. Other initiatives in the plan include extensions of the Bakerloo line and DLR, along with the proposed West London Orbital route. However, projects like Crossrail 2 are projected for realization only by the mid-2040s, indicating long-term planning.

The Growth Plan supports a Bakerloo line extension and calls for a new Overground route, while emphasizing long-term goals like Crossrail 2.
Historically, the control of suburban rail lines by TfL has shown past successes, with previous mayoral administrations expanding the Overground network.
