There's time for both! Although I imagine there is a pretty good chance that some part of the Overground will be closed for engineering work that Sunday anyway.

Yep, Sydenham to West Croydon and the entire West London Line on Sunday only. Looks to be everything open for the R15 (well, Woodford to Hainault/Epping isn't, but that's so far off, and a stretch of DLR).

Speaking of everything open for R15s, next one has no closures scheduled! And the day before my birthday, too.

I'm hoping they'll give them the names they already have. I'm fed up of mentioning the North London Line in conversation with Camden/Gospel Oak/Willesden/Hackney-based friends, them looking at me in utter confusion and it taking them a few seconds to twig I'm talking about "The Overground".

Lea Valley Lines - perhaps LEVELs (LEa VallEy Lines)
GOBLIN must remain GOBLIN, and people must know it as such (if possible, even more aggravating than the NLL situation)
NLL/WLL and ELL/SLL naming conventions could be improved
Watford DC could have a renaming

Rominster or Upminford? Or the Romerson Parkminster? Alternatives include Eminster, Romerson, Upmerson, Emerford, that silly little thing...
Forgive my ignorance, but what does 'GOBLIN' stand for?
