London Overground line names

Nor would you at Amersham, 147 m (490 ft) above sea level, but people seem to have accepted it for many years. Anyway, where does Brighton come into London Overground's plans? Have you missed the various threads over the last couple of days following the Times article, where Ken is quoted as bidding for "most of Southern" when the franchise comes up for renewal in 2009? I wasn't aware that the proposed vast expansion of TfL's rail network would still be branded as "London Overground", though on re-reading the Times article, I see that Ben Webster did float that idea. You could coin a new name such as "Network South-East", or perhaps "London, Brighton & South Coast Overground". :-) -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |
