If the data comes from NR systems, what about the ELL?

What about it? It's part of National Rail so it shows up like any
other station.

I thought it was not part of /Network/ Rail though.

Of course it is.

No it's not. From New Cross Gate and New Cross to Dalston Junction, the
line is owned by TfL London Rail, and maintained under contract by
Carillion.

AIUI the line's signalling is done by Network Rail, but again under
contract to TfL.

I'd imagine that live running data for the ELL is passed via the same
systems (Network Rail signalling etc) as is the case for Network Rail
owned lines.
