the WLL. The amble from Clapham Junction thru Chelsea, Brompton,
Olympia, Shepherds Bush, et al is pitiful.
Other than speed the Overground is great system.

Although the high patronage of the new Shepherds Bush station proves that
constructing it was a good idea, I must point out that previously the trains used
to sprint between North Pole Junction and Kensington Olympia. Ah, the high price
of progress!
