This office is responsible for coordination with operators that provide National Rail service within London . As it is, railways are an important component of London 's transport system. For this, there is urgency for new rail routes and upgrading the system.
A partnership has been established with the Strategic Rail Authority to provide input into the franchising process and to help with future projects. To ensure that passengers enjoy benefits experienced in other world major cities like Paris the TfL London Rail Partnership Agreement has been set up between TfL London Rail and the SRA.
