An example of that sort of
thing, the North London line, seems fairly heavily used with the
trains often being uncomfortably packed at busy times. I know I go
on about this all the time, but I think it would be even more
heavily used if a more frequent and reliable service was provided
and the stations were done up a bit.

And if it were better-publicised. My Canadian colleague had no
idea of its existence, and was solemnly travelling from Islington
to Canning Town via Central London until I realised that it was
the North London Lines that went to Canning Town (which I hadn't
known until I looked, out of curiosity, at what lines did go
there), and told her it would be quicker for her. Which it is! I
just wish the South London Line (which I use) would be extended
beyond London Bridge/Victoria.....

I don't know about it needing to be better publicised. I mean, it's
quite clearly shown on the tube map and I would have thought that was
quite hard to miss if you were to spend any amount of time at all
planning a route. I'm a bit confused about how your colleague could not
have realised where it went.
