Orbirail was a name for a suggested orbital railway route around London. It would have connected the extended North London Line, East London Line, the South London Line and the West London Line, possibly including the Gospel Oak to Barking Line. The combined line would have orbited London in Zone 2, Zone 3 and (possibly) Zone 4. It is not to be confused with London's existing circular railway, the Circle line of the London Underground. == Status == Until recently Orbirail had no official status as a planned project. However, the completion of Transport for London's ''London Overground'' on 9 December 2012 achieved substantially the same objective. On 12 February 2009, Mayor Boris Johnson and Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon announced £75 Million to fund the southern extension of the Overground network between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction as part of the East London line extension, creating the final connection of an orbital railway for London to be completed in time for the 2012 Olympic Games. However, the timeline published by TfL in April 2011 stated the line would not open until late 2012, well after the Olympics and Paralympics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orbirail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
