One suspects that purple is the new Crossrail Color. Red for
Underground, orange for Overground and purple for London's RER.


But Overground, like Crossrail, *is* an S-Bahn, RER or whatever you
call it. To me, Crossrail should have used the orange roundel, not had
a new one.


The Overground WAS a local, largely, orbital network for Londoners.

One radial and one circumferential route available to anyone with the
right ticket.

That of course has gone to pot with the latest takeovers of the
suburban network.

Crossrails reach from London's core to the market towns and garden
cities in neighboring counties.
