RingRail - the 1973 railway plan that paved the way for the London Overground
Briefly

The RingRail was proposed in 1973 as a response to the inefficiencies of car commuting, advocating for a more appealing public transport system to reduce road congestion.
Despite the plan never being constructed as envisioned, aspects of it lived on in the form of the London Overground, which aimed to enhance rail connectivity in London.
The original plan intended to utilize underused rail capacity and create efficient interchanges, emphasizing a shift from private vehicles to public transportation.
The proposal included innovative ideas, such as a new tunnel crossing the Thames, aimed at improving access across the city and reducing reliance on cars.
