It's not really a new rail network, except for the Shoredich to Dalston connection and a few other links I think. These are the railway lines that are operated by Transport for London. They have - or are going to get - metro-like frequencies, staffed stations and will be better integrated with the underground.

The new tube map for 2010 looks very interesting.

It's a good thing that the Guinness record is for visiting all London Underground stations...

That sounds pretty good. It's about time that that line had more than one service every fifteen minutes. The more services they have, the more passengers will turn up!

That's a lot to be done in 4 years- & they're only closing the ELL for the extension in 2008.
Plus Shepherds Bush (H&C) has been renamed!
