When you’re on the tube and it’s stopping at a mainline station, it tends to 
say “change here for National rail services”. Elsewhere I often hear it 
referred to as the national rail network and conversely London Underground 
network for tube lines. Though the overground might complicates things.
I think it’s “National rail” as a descriptive term rather than a brand/company 
term.

Network rail is just the company/government backed company/government entity 
(delete as appropriate) that maintains the tracks. Feels weird to call it the 
network rail network when it’d not be called the railtrack network 20 years 
ago. 

Also you have engineer line references (ELRs) for the track at least.. I’ve 
never heard them used for the actual station building/platforms.
