From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North London Line is a railway line in London, England, owned and maintained by Network Rail. It is part of the London Overground network and is an important freight route. At its fullest extent it described roughly a semicircle through the inner northern suburbs from Richmond in the west to North Woolwich in the east, avoiding central London. In 2006 the section from Stratford to North Woolwich was cut off for conversion to a Docklands Light Railway line.
