Default Will she ever learn?

I've often wondered why TFL chose to name that newish service the
overground. It's essentially just a re-vamped railway service, using
mainly existing tracks and stations.


Probably to highlight that it is now a TfL service, rather
than a National Raiways franchise. I think they must have just
about exhausted the possible derivatives of Great Eastern over
the years ...

At least crossrail says what it is.


I think you mean what it was as it is now the Elizabeth Line.

(Although, personally, I thought Crossrail was a better name.)
