How about "trains upon which an all-lines rover are accepted"?

So is the all-lines rover valid on the current LO?  Will it be
valid on the ELL extension?

Dunno. My guess is that it will be accepted, but not because it has
to be, instead simply because TfL decide it might as well be, given
that it'll be valid on the rest of the LO network. However I'd
guess that the TfL-owned ELL route miles wouldn't count towards the
LO would receive from the RSP's All-Lines Rover pot. Basically it's
a niche product which is hardly going to be at the top of TfL's
concerns - maybe no-one's even thought about it yet.

I thought the new ELL won't the sleepy backwater that the old one was,
though?

Yes, it'll be busy - what relevance is that?

In the grand scheme of things number of people who might like to make
use of an All-Lines Rail Rover on the ELL would make up a completely
minuscule proportion of the total passenger numbers on the line.

They might get in the way more, though. That would have less of an issue
before.
