Yet again a London paper uses the term 'overground' confusingly, as the
'Overground' has been Oyster enabled since November. They also refer to the
'overland network' - another new term.

There is an argument that it is TfL et al who are using "overground"
confusingly, by giving Overground a tighter meaning than (the person in
the street's use of-) overground. Maybe it is to compensate for "Tube"
now including things which aren't tubes :-)

Then there is the Overground Network, which came, caused a little
confusion and then died, but its ghost still haunts various bits of signage.
