Underground Overground

[tivoli]

Noticed at West Hampstaed in London that Underground towards Kilburn runs over the Overground towards Brondesbury. Are there many other incidences like this?

 

[yorkie]

Yes, in nearby Kenton for a start!

You mean that London Underground lines cross over Network Rail lines.?
Yes- There are many examples around London which would make a long list of locations.

The Underground platforms at Whitechapel are above the Overground! You have to go downstairs when interchanging.

At both Stratford (Central Line) and West Ham (Metropolitan /District) the platforms were above the now closed Stratford- North Woolwich National Rail line.

To be fair though, the Overground line there used to be another Underground one in a previous life.

Not out loud, but the words did flash past my eyes.

The Underground goes over the Overground in the Chiswick Park, Latimer Road and Kenton areas! Plus as mentioned the countless other NR places

Thameslink goes under the Met/Circle line between Farringdon and St. Pancras...

Network Rail and Overground are most definitely not synonymous

I noticed that when I passed through..certainly made me smile .

I still call the Overground in that section the East London Line - it doesn't seem right calling it the overground
