Historically (ie: since 'steam train' days) this route has always been served by a mix of railway companies. Although only Overground trains now use it the entire East London Line service uses a unique mix of Network Rail and Transport For London (who 'own' London Underground) infrastructure.
Elsewhere in London Overground & Underground trains provide joint (shared) services, albeit solely on Network Rail metals.
thx so much !! great video~ i like the EL @14:20 where the A stock train just like "hopping" into the station when crossing the junction...interesting
Great contrast video. Awesome transformation. However, I think the London "EL" would have been a slightly better designation than "Overground." Also, how do passengers like or dislike the longitudinal seating vs. the cross-seating on the previous classes of trains? I would think they would have preferred some cross-seating in the cars. New York also went back to full longitudinal seating as well. Not too happy about that....
@JeffOrnstein01 Thanks, I'm pleased you found it to be of interest.
re: the name 'Overground', it was chosen to complement the existing and well-known 'Underground'.
re: the seating, its not liked by everyone. Even though most Underground trains (A Stock excepted) are like this many people would have been happier if the Overground 378's had some cross-seating - emulating the new Overground diesel trains on the Barking - Gospel Oak service.
@nasansia Instead of just having paper timetables showing the times the trains are supposed to come, 'real-time' information tells waiting passengers when they will actually come. Often the information displays also advise of delays and other important travel information (such as planned closures).
Inside the trains the information tells passengers the name of the next station and name of the destination for the train - helping the passengers ensure that they are on the correct train.

Do London Overground and London Underground work together?

Wow, great video. I pretty much use this station everyday! (: Did they replace the motors on the A stock? They sound different.

Your contrasts series is as interesting as always. Good work. There has changed much.
I would have preferred the livery with blue doors as it reminds me a little bit of the old Hamburg S-Bahn livery.
The vignetting wasn´t visible in the viewfinder and TV because of the overscan. Regular tube televisions don´t show the whole frame.

what does real time passenger information mean? Are they just the announcements

Nice video, some random gave the camera a cheeky wave at 01:55, was the first clips before the A stock was refurbished?
