We take things for granted in London. But here's a New Yorker's reaction to
a fairly straightforward journey through London:

[Yes, I know 378s aren't articulated, and that the LO tunnels are a *lot*
more ancient than the JLE.]


Lovely picture of Shoreditch, not!

I notice the Overground at Canada Water has what look like National Rail
next train displays, which use the second line to list intermediate
stations. Surely it had LU ones when it was part of LU. Since LO doesn't
have multiple calling patterns (apart from Hackney Downs - Bethnal
Green), I'm not sure why they downgraded the displays. Were the LU ones
junked? They must be an expensive bit of kit.
