Issues covered included HLOS2, East London Line Ph 2 or should I say
"New South London Line", Overground performance, LUL performance,
various projects including a confirmed delay to the DLR Stratford
International project to "Autumn 2010".


The "New Souh London Line" moniker doesn't seem anything more than a
Boris-esque presentational wheeze to deflate concerns about the
forthcoming death of the Victoria-London Bridge South London Line
service - this is reinforced by the fact that TfL/ LO do not refer to
any of the London Overground routes by names such as "North London
Line" "East London Line" etc in passenger facing communication -
instead, the ultimate destinations of each service are referred to
instead, e.g. "Richmond - Stratford", "Dalston Jn - West Croydon/
Crystal Palace" - according to a somewhat trenchant poster on the
District Dave forum, this nomenclature was chosen as the result of
passenger surveys and consultations done by TfL.
