But before this, it is TfL! Also on the LRTSM it is a solid line, which is for TfL only, in oppose to the white boxes in the NR lines!

Did you mean to just quote yourself there, or was something meant to be after it?

I did - I was proving my point about the pedantry inherent with any quiz on here.

What about the East London line though? That was never part of National Rail - as far as I know, TfL and its predecessors have always managed the track and signals there.

This page from the National Rail website notes the following for the
London's Rail & Tube services map:
London's Rail & Tube services map (which replaces the former London Connections map) shows all National Rail routes and stations within the Greater London area, together with London Underground, Docklands Light Railway and London Tramlink services and stations.
Thereby showing that of the services in London, only the London Underground, Docklands Light Railway and London Tramlink are non-National Rail services.
Indeed, the
London & the South East Map by Network Rail located here:
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/css/Netwo ... _SEmap.pdf clearly show that the London Overground routes are part of the National Rail network.
QED m'lord.

Don't get confused between Network Rail and National Rail! A National Rail service can run over tracks/signals not managed by Network Rail.

The other example is Chiltern from Harrow to Amersham.

Ah, I see - at least I think I do. "National Rail" is just a brand name rather than an actual organization, right?
