Crossrail work closes section of Circle line for three weeks
Ross Lydall

[snip]
The work includes platform lengthening to accommodate new air-
conditioned trains. They are in service on the East London line and
London Overground, and will start running on the Metropolitan line in
weeks.

Ross Lydall is, I think, the Standard's local government "expert", but
quite often writes on transport matters. You'd think he would realise by
now that (1) the ELL is part of London Overground, and (2) their trains
are not the same as the S-stock to be introduced on LU sub-surface lines.

I suspect (but can't prove!) that one might struggle to find many
normals who understand what London Overground is, and how it relates to
"the tube" and "overground trains".
