2018, The Natural Philosopher remarked:

I described how I almost never used (TfL's) PT when living in the
area.

You described an area which sounds rather odd. No tube *and* no
overground?

Surbiton.

Has a station.

But as I explained; and you either didn't read, or have forgotten, has
no services subsidised by TfL.
You said '*and* no overground'
It has.

It depends on whether you mean "above ground lines " - it has or "The
Overground" and LT brand name for some surface lines it operates. - It
hasn't. You need to to go to Clapham Junction to find that.

Suburban rail services have been known as the overground for as long as I
can remember. Don't approve of TFL hijacking the name for one line - what
will they call the next similar they open, if they do?

The only difference is the type of carriage. More like an underground one
seating wise - but with the additional benefit of easy movement between
carriages (no doors). So maximum standing space. But basically just a
train.
