Is there a reason why this is not just billed as part of the
Underground, especially since it will soon have some deep tube bits?

Where?


I guess he means the sub-surface bits of the ex-ELL, but the only deep
tube section of this is the Thames Tunnel, isn't it?

Overground = NLL +ELL + ELL extensions + GOBLIN + WatfordJn-Euston.
Very little of that is underground.


Yup, that's what I thought, and I can't think of any deep tube bits apart
from the (very) old Brunel tunnel.


And indeed, that could be described as much "underWATER" as "UndergrounD".
