[edit] Duplication

All but a short section of this article is a duplicate of London Overground, which suggests to me there isn't any need for a second article, at least not one covering generalities. In any case, legally the Overground TOC is "Rail for London Ltd", a subsidiary of TfL. They subcontracted part of the actual operations to LOROL (aka MTR Laing), who are not a TOC. I suggest merging everything back and treating "London Overground" as a TOC article that by extension covers the network (cf Merseyrail). The minutiae of the contract arrangements are not really very notable. --Mr Thant 20:45, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
