Reducing pressure on an already strained tube sounds a great idea. My favourite time to be traveling in London is about 6am, so much nicer.

This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to solve road congestion and overcrowded trains. All they need to do is maintain current levels of service and reduced number of commuters, whilst throwing a bit of money at public transport to make up the difference in ticket sales.
What will probably happen instead is that services will be cut, ticket prices increased to compensate for lower sales, whilst commuter numbers creep back up to what they were before - this time with severely curtailed services and even higher prices.Comment

London's transport is already vastly more subsidised than the rest of the country. If you're talking about in general, fine, but Manchester doesn't have the transport infrastructure to encourage people to commute via bus, tram, etc enough.
Nothing wrong with subsidising public transport anywhere, IMO, if having that transport helps generate wealth elsewhere - I'm not even sure you could call that subsidising really, just investment in one area for payoff in another.Comment
