Default Why is LU separate from National Rail?

A metro system that is part of the National Rail network seems to work
perfectly well in Liverpool. Are there reasons why it wouldn't in London?


But its not a metro system is it. Its just a load of old BR track lumped
together and rebranded as a metro. You could do the same to half a dozen
different suburban lines in cities around the country.

They've done it in South London, where they call it the "Overground
Network" at the moment; at one stage it was South London Metro.
