Default London Liverpool Street

To me this seems like a contradiction. The problem is that the Liverpool
Street line is a London overground line, but it isn't a London Overground
line. TfL should not have used "London Overground" to mean a small subset of
what the words have meant for the last hundred years.


Indeed. Try working in a LU ticket office and asking a passenger "will
you be travelling on National Rail today?", and getting the inevitable
response "Yes, I will use the overground trains.", and then having to
spend several minutes trying to establish whether they mean Overground
or overground.

This is what happens when the decisions are made by people who know
f*ck all about transport - i.e. Transport For London being chaired by
the Mayor.
