Railways in London

Policy for all surface transport, road and rail, in the Greater London area is coordinated by Transport for London (TfL). The following rail networks come under the auspices of TfL:

• Tube the London Underground. Now offically called Tube by TfL, although historically the term referred only to those lineS with deep level bored tunnels, and not the subsurface lines
• DLR also known as the Docklands Light Railway
• Tramlink trams in the Croydon area
• London Overground, a suburban network operating mainly on pre-existing heavy rail routes
• Elizabeth Line regional line from Reading to Shenfield via central London, with branches to Heathrow Airport and Abbey Wood
