What is now called the "Overground" is actually part of "British
Rail". The government put those lines out to tender and "Overground"
won it. Therefore, it's not part of Tfl as such - for instance it
works under National Rail rules/signalling and passenger
terms/conditions not LU.

But doesn't the Metropolitan line between Uxbridge and Amersham?

The Metropolitan Line doesn't run between Uxbridge and Amersham. ;-)

Whilst the *actual* boundaries are North of Amersham and South of
Harrow-on-the-Hill, the change between Network Rail and London
Underground rules occurs at Harrow-on-the-Hill and Amersham stations.

Cheers,
