Thing is, the line twixt Dalston Junction and New Cross/ NXG is neither
owned nor maintained by Network Rail - it's owned by TfL London Rail,
and maintained under contract by Carillion.

Odd that Network Rail gets specifically mentioned up on a line it's not
responsible for, whilst it doesn't get a mention on the other lines it
*is* responsible for (ok, it does get a mention re Surrey Quays to
Clapham Jn, for which it is responsible for south of the new junction
located just north of Queens Road Peckham - which must have a name,
perhaps the Old Kent Rd Junction?).
