Interestingly, during the recent closure between Shadwell and Highbury, I heard a digital announcement at an underground station that said "The East London line is closed." Yet officially, it hasn't been referred to as that since 2007!

That's far better than "London Overground is partially suspended" without any further information being given. Most recently heard at Bank when I was actually intending to use the Overground later in my journey - although as it was a problem on one of the lines out of Liverpool Street and I was heading for the DC line from Euston it wasn't actually at all relevant.

I've seen people referring to your "Main Loop" as the "Outer Circle Line", which I agree makes sense. Ah, yes, that was it: 'Outer Circle'. I thought the name I recollected included 'outer' but I could not see any other loop on LO! I hadn't realised that LO included so much that is left off the tube map, until I dug further to find this Romford line (which, of course, means that Romford push-pull now makes perfect sense). I can see that there can easily be problems when people who's mental image of LO comes from the more complete map talk to those who's mental image comes from the Tube diagram. I live in Havering and have used that line many times; I know it as the 'push pull'.
