Surely the infrastructure network is a different concept to the train
network?
How about this for a thought:
For the trains, a network might be linked to a brand; An operator may
have distinct branding for commuter services, intercity services and
freight operations giving three different "networks." All the services
within a network will be integrated in terms of scheduling and other
planning, whereas coordination with other networks is a whole different
can of worms. If there is just one big team doing the planning, then
it's one network. If the planning is done reasonably autonomously, then
they are different networks.
Is "London Overground" a separate "network" to the Underground? Is the
DLR a separate network? Instinctively I would say yes to both of these,
from both a train service point of view and from an infrastructure point
of view. Pleased to hear arguments to the contrary though.

On the lines ...
network='operating the line'
operator='operating services over that line'
Stations will also have
operator='station services'
I think 'National Rail' does not fit either of those definitions? So
network=Network Rail ... or one of the Metro services?
