Is there any difference between national rail oyster PAYG routes and
london overground routes as far as touching in and out is concerned?


No.


cool


Specifically, "London Overground" is just one company that operates
"National Rail" trains.



Yes, but...

In terms of passenger facing communications TfL does refer to "London
Overground" separately from "National Rail" services - passengers who
don't know the story behind all this are thus quite entitled to think
of London Overground as being a different beast from National Rail.

snipped


As someone who knows buggerall about who runs what and what is
technically what I see 'London Overground' as an oyster payg rail
service like the underground and 'national rail' as 'need to buy a
ticket'.
