The new London Overground railway was opened by the Mayor of London on 27 April.  The line will operate every seven or eight minutes weekdays and half will run from Dalston Junction to New Cross and the other half from Dalston Junction to New Cross Gate stations.

The full line will be open on 23 May with trains running every five minutes between Dalston Junction and Surrey Quays and every seven or eight minutes between Dalston Junction to Sydenham.  By May 2011 the line will be extended to run to Clapham Juncton, West Croydon, Highbury and Islington. www.tfl.gov.uk
