Who runs Transport for London?
Transport for London (TfL) is governed by a board appointed by the Mayor of London, who also serves as its Chair. The Mayor sets the overall transport strategy for the capital, including priorities for investment and service improvements. This means the Mayor has ultimate responsibility for the performance of lines like the District Line.
