Well to be fair it all depends how you categorise things. It depends

and others are quite correct that trains from the WLL will run through
to Stratford from Clapham Junction. However is it still a WLL service
when it reaches Canonbury or is it a NLL service?

Good points. Just shows how the same question can be interpreted in
different ways. *I suppose I was answering 'will trains originating on the
WLL reach as far as the overlap with the ELL at Highbury etc. Incidentally a
post in District Dave's a couple of weeks back firmly supported the view
that London Rail aren't keen on using the line names, everthing being
described in terms of 'origin and destination' in timetables etc...

It does indeed show that. It is a pity in some respects that so many
colours have already been used up for tube lines as there would be some
merit in colour coding the various Overground lines. *Perhaps the final
map will be a bit like DLR where they show the service pattern as lines
to illustrate where there are through services?

I did see the District Dave post - ISTR that it was rather vociferous
and was "telling everybody off" for using the wrong terms despite TfL
not having (AFAIK) any jurisdiction over the DD board ;-)

If you extend the question to empty stock moves though, LO trains from the
WLL will also reach the ELL (and the depot) via all sorts of routes through
South London. :-)

I think you're pushing the limits of comparison perhaps just a little
too far.

Seems to me that the NLL goes further W and S than both the WLL and
the SLL.
