Page "National Rail" Paragraph 15

London Overground ( LO ) is a hybrid: its services are operated via a concession awarded by Transport for London, and are branded accordingly, but until 2010 all its routes used infrastructure owned by Network Rail.

LO now also possesses some infrastructure in its own right, following the reopening of the former East London line of London Underground as the East London Railway of LO.

Since all the previous LO routes were operated by National Rail franchise Silverlink until November 2007, they have continued to be shown in the National Rail timetable and are still considered to be a part of National Rail.
