"M25 of the rails" my tail lamp end. Doesn't get the hard working
people of Peckham and Wandsworth in to where they need to get to (i.e
Central London) any quicker - quite the opposite.

That's the point of orbital lines. They don't connect directly to the
likes
of Central London. You change where the orbital line intersects with a
radial line for that.

They also don't connect well with radial lines. I thought a trip
yesterday to Shoreditch High St was an ideal opportunity to try out the
Overground, but connections to the Cambridge lines are hopeless.

In what sense hopeless, physically or timetable incompatibilities?
