Maybe today's 'wet behind the ears' journalists think 'overground' is synonymous with mainline railways. So they just search for overground for their pictures?
In some more London-centric forums you do seem to get this ambivalent use of the term, eg 'overground into Waterloo etc'...

Not necessarily incorrect stock, but Michael Portlllo seems to board one class, travel in another and alight from another on his travels.

Stretching a point I suppose the LOREL train could just about be described as relevant for Peterboroughand Cambridge as it shows a train which goes to the south of London. However, Thameslink would be more appropriate,

And I think I've seen that picture before ... http://www.thisisnorthdevon.co.uk/story-18481673-detail/story.html#axzz2OAKRNtDRWhere and when was it taken? We'll forgive "This is North Devon" for not rushing out to photograph the scene, but surely they have some more recent pictures of trains in their area? |

Grahame, are you sure that picture is an oldie? If so, is that a stock video as well?

It may not have been a relevant photo, but it is quite interesting. That particular version of the Barbie livery with the white outline on the second stripe wasn't applied to may powercars.

Indeed: I've noticed an annoying tendency in some local journalism for a reporter to publish a 'breaking news' item, illustrated with any old stock picture, pending their getting more details and a relevant picture. Why don't they just publish the basic facts as they arrive in the press room, and explain "Further details and pictures to follow"  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
