It seems to me that this article has been overtaken by events to the point where it either needs to be rewritten or merged into London Overground as part of the history section. What is the consensus? -- DanielRigal ( talk) 16:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Could I suggest including a reference to Tokyo's Yamanote Line for a conceptual comparison? This also helps to explain the possible economic benefits of orbirail: Presently London's zone 2 is constrained economically by the dominance of radial transport into overcrowded zone 1. Improved lateral transport around zone 2 could help develop multiple new economic centres like those found around the Yamanote line and reduce the pressure on zone 1. 87.194.80.255 ( talk) 13:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
New Comment: origins of the London orbirail. Started in talks by Peter Hall and Drummond Robson in late 90s, then embodied in a report of 1999 intended for the new mayor. Picked up by Nicky Gavron and found its way into ken's plans. The 199 report was unobtainable for years and we have now dug out an electronic copy and it is downloadable free at http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1369585/ 89.240.30.126 ( talk) 13:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)Michael Edwards m.edwards@ucl.ac.uk
