No, I am not referring to the new Eurostar terminal at St. Pancras, which opened the day before this photograph was taken. It's not really a NEW railway quite yet, but as from Sunday 11 November 2007, a whole group of National Rail lines in the London area were vested in Transport for London, which has collectively named them the London Overground. New signs like the one above will soon be appearing all over these lines and the colour selected is orange. New lines will follow by 2010 when the East London extensions are finished. and there will be new modern rolling stock throughout. Meanwhile there will be service improvements and all of the stations will be staffed throughout their opening hours.
