This is something I have wondered for some time. The Overground name
is contrived. The East London Line is a former Underground line
anyway.
It is marketing, and probably a good move.
This could create a brand for urban and suburban railways similar to
"S-Bahn" in Germany and German speaking countries, distinct from
"U-Bahn" resp. "Underground".
Yes, I think the London 'Overground' needs a new brand that doesn't get
confused with other overground trains. The obvious one would be 'Metro'
but that risks confusion with the Metropolitan line.
Wasn't that the purpose of "London Rail"?
