ON Network - any better?

(Mait001) wrote the following in:

Whilst I agree, Dan, that 4 t.p.h. is hardly anything to boast of,
just what purpose is served by expensive rebranding anyway? Why
not spend the money on actual service improvements rather than
window-dressing?

I believe the idea behind it is to make the south London National Rail
lines seem more tube like and easier to understand. I think it's a good
idea to make the system better advertised and easier to understand
because I find those lines a confusing nightmare. 4 TPH is pretty crap
but I think it's the bare minimum for me personally to consider using a
service as a "turn up and go" metro type thing, and I can understand
why they'd choose it.

So, if the Overground Network succeeds in creating an easily understood
tube like network of lines with (just) enough trains for you to turn up
and go, then I think it is a good idea, even if it is at heart just
window dressing.
