The Transport for London (East London Line) Transfer Scheme 2009 (“Transfer Scheme”) was made by Transport for London (“TfL”) on 1st July 2009, pursuant to section 165(1) of, and Schedule 12 to, the Greater London Authority Act 1999, and was approved by the Mayor of London on 18th July 2009, pursuant to section 165(2) of that Act. 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”).
