In what sense is the CamTram a proper railway whereas the Elizabeth Line
isn't?

The Elizabeth Line is a new part of an existing railway, not a new
railway.

That depends how you look at it. It could be viewed as a new railway joining
up 2 previously (operationally) seperate railways, or you could view it as
simply an underground section of the national rail network.

I believe TfL has overall control of the underground section even though a
conscession will run it, so to me it seems more like an entirely new line.
