I've come to the conclusion that this must be a generation thing. I've
never used 'overground' to refer to anything but LO. In my own
experience, people have tended to stick with out-of-date or inaccurate
terms like 'British Rail' or 'main-line' when referring to National Rail
services as a whole.

What about the 'ON' Overground Network thing of a few years ago? I'm not
even sure what that was all about, but it seemed to be very short-lived,
though some of the signs are still around. The one outside East Croydon
might cause some confusion if it's still there in a few months time, given
that West Croydon will be on the 'new' Overground, and Croydon has a large
number of recent arrivals it the Country, who would be unlikely to know the
difference.
