The Transfer Scheme provides for the transfer of property, rights and liabilities relating to the East London Line from TfL and from one of its subsidiaries, London Underground Limited (“LUL”), to another TfL subsidiary, Rail for London Limited (“RfL”). The Transfer Scheme also transfers statutory functions relating to the East London Line from LUL to RfL.
