Is that meant to be a web page? If so, please provide the URL. If it's
www.bbc.com/travel/432, that's part of the BBC's international service,
and can't be accessed from the UK.

The UK travel pages at bbc.co.uk/travel are differently numbered and the
ones I've looked at don't have the Overground expansion that you claim
to have seen.

Almost certainly the text page on the television! London travel info
is usually on page 436.

Ah, I wondered. I've never bothered with those Freeview
successor-to-Teletext pages since the web and broadband in the 21st
century. I assumed that hardly anyone watches them, so they're probably
supported by a lens-than-skeleton staff of low-paid interns or the like.

I'd completely forgotten about son-of-Ceefax. One of those older
technologies that few people know about (like Usenet!)

They appear to be an automatic feed from the first couple of paragraphs
of the BBC News Online article, as indeed Ceefax appeared to be in its
latter days.

And the actual stories picked bear a strong resemblance to the website's
"most read".
