The whole topic of this thread is just about the train services, but someone 
have brought Network Rail into confusion here. Network Rail is totally 
irrelevant here except that some major stations have operator="Network Rail".

On the ground, London Overground is operated by TfL so should we tag 
operator="Transport for London" into the Overground lines, where the 
contracted operator should not be relevant? For all intents and purposes from 
the passenger, London Overground is operated by TfL and Arriva is just a 
subcontractor.
