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.

For those who might be interested the London Transport Users Committee
has done some research recently on both stations jointly served by
London Underground and on rail fares policy in London. To view this
