Resumo

Abstract London Overground is a passenger rail service under the responsibility of the Mayor of London, which is managed by Transport for London (TfL) and is operated by London Overground Rail Operations Limited (LOROL). London Overground forms part of the UK national rail network and Network Rail is the Infrastructure Manager (IM) as defined under the UK railways regulations except for a relatively short section of the East London Railway (ELR), for which Rail for London (RfL) is the IM. The current plan is for RfL to extend its IM duties to new routes such as the extensions of the ELR and to parts of the Crossrail route. The £1bn East London Line Project (ELLP) was responsible for the development of the ELR and the innovative Systems Engineering practices employed on that project have been reported in previous papers. This paper consolidates the experiences and knowledge from the ELLP into a number of ‘lessons learned’. It then proceeds to describe how the development of a framework of systems engineering practices for RfL's new IM role has benefited from the experiences on the ELLP.
