| - London Overground does have other ambitions to extend their control to other train lines coming into Metropolis, so passengers should look out for any more 'makeovers' and deliveries of expensive pot plants to 'tart up' stations. It would be a clear sign that London Overground has arrived in your neigbourhood.

- London Overground (LO) is a commuter rail service in London, UK. The London Overground name is the brand applied by Transport for London (TfL) to the services which it manages on four railway lines in the London area: the Euston-Watford DC Line, the North London Line, the West London Line and the Gospel Oak to Barking Line. London Overground is best described as a commuter rail system, especially as many of the lines share traffic with freight services, although there is an intention to introduce metro-style frequencies eventually on all routes.

- London Overground (LO) is a commuter rail service in London, UK. The London Overground name is the brand applied by Transport for London (TfL) to the services which it manages on four railway lines in the London area: the Euston-Watford DC Line, the North London Line, the West London Line and the Gospel Oak to Barking Line. The name has been used since 2007, when TfL took over part of the rail franchise from the Silverlink train operating company. In 2010, the London Overground network incorporated the East London Railway, a line formed from the East London Line (formerly part of London Underground) which is being extended to connect to the North London Line. London Overground is part of the National Rail network, run as a rail franchise by the train operating company London Overground Rail Operations Ltd (LOROL), but the contracting authority is Transport for London (TfL) rather than central Government. This arrangement is similar to the model adopted for Merseyrail. The lines continue to be owned and maintained by Network Rail except for the Dalston-New Cross section of the East London Railway which will remain TfL property when it becomes an operational part of London Overground. London Overground is best described as a commuter rail system, especially as many of the lines share traffic with freight services, although there is an intention to introduce metro-style frequencies eventually on all routes.
