Now part of the London Overground system, largely following the route of the North London Railway. It originally extended from Richmond Station to North Woolwich Station, but the route was cut back to Stratford Station in conjunction with the Docklands Light Railway extension, and with a branch from Gospel Oak Station to Barking Station. It was the only rail link to be shown on the Underground Map, and was unusual that it was the only line that did not enter Travelcard Zone 1 The Wikipedia article is at [1], and on the North London Line City Branch [2].

- The North London Line between Richmond and North Woolwich derives from five connecting sections which were opened over 25 years from 1846:
* The easternmost section opened as the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway in 1846/7 between Stratford and North Woolwich. The later construction of the Royal Victoria Dock necessitated a swing-bridge on the original route south of Canning Town which was rerouted in 1850 via Custom House and the Connaught Tunnel. The original route was retained as the Silvertown Tramway, a local freight line connected at both ends to the new main line.
* The main central section opened from 1850 to 1852 as the East & West India Docks & Birmingham Junction Railway (renamed the North London Railway (NLR) in 1853). This gave a link from the Euston main line

* The main central section opened from 1850 to 1852 as the East & West India Docks & Birmingham Junction Railway (renamed the North London Railway (NLR) in 1853). This gave a link from the Euston main line near Primrose Hill to the docks at Poplar via Bow.
* In the west, the North & South Western Junction Railway was opened in 1853 from Willesden Junction station to a junction with the Hounslow Loop Line near Kew Bridge.
* The last link in the east was opened between the NLR near Victoria Park and Stratford in 1854.
* To obviate NLR trains running on the busy Euston main line, the Hampstead Junction Railway was opened from the NLR at Camden Road to Willesden via Hampstead Heath in 1860.
* To give the NLR direct access to the City of London the City Extension to Broad Street was opened from Dalston Junction in 1865.
* The final part of the route was the opening of a link from South Acton to Richmond by the London & South Western Railway (LSWR) in 1869.
