This is a representation of the North London Line around the year 2023, at this time the route is operated by Transport for London as part of the London Overground network. Included within the simulation is the full route from Stratford to Richmond via Gospel Oak. Also included is the Gospel Oak to Barking Line as far as Barking, and the West London Line between Willesden Junction and Imperial Wharf. The included timetable provides a challenge with a few services already present on the map right from the the 05:30am start time.

The North London Line has evolved over the years, up until the late 1980s services also commenced at the now long since demolished London terminus of Broad Street. After the closure of the Broad Street to Dalston Junction services continued to operate from Richmond to the SouthWest of the capital, and North Woolwich in the east. Operations on the line were taken over in 1986 by Silverlink trains under their Metro franchise, which also included West London Line services from Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction, Gospel Oak to Barking Line services (the route at this time being unelectrified), and Watford DC Line services from London Euston to Watford Junction. From 2007 Transport for London took over all four routes which became part of its London Overground services. From 2010 the section of line between Shoreditch just north of Broad Street and Dalston Junction was re-opened to form part of the East London Line section with trains running onward to West Croydon and Crystal Palace. In 2018 the Gospel Oak to Barking Line was electrified with electric trains commencing operation in 2019, the line was extended beyond Barking to the new terminus of Barking Riverside in 2022.

As well as passengers services the network pays host to a range of interregional freight movements, providing an important corridor for routing freight across the city and connecting the north of the country with industry in the south.
