Have you missed the various threads over the last couple of days
following the Times article, where Ken is quoted as bidding for "most
of Southern" when the franchise comes up for renewal in 2009?

I wasn't aware that the proposed vast expansion of TfL's rail network
would still be branded as "London Overground", though on re-reading the
Times article, I see that Ben Webster did float that idea.

You could coin a new name such as "Network South-East", or perhaps
"London, Brighton & South Coast Overground".

The worry when people start talking about 'a new Network Southeast', under
TfL control, is that they don't seem to appreciate it went as far as Exeter,
Worcester, Banbury, Northampton, Bedford, Kings Lynn and Harwich...
