==Branding==
Silverlink had two sub-brands:

'''Silverlink Metro''' was used for services primarily within Greater London: 
*[[North London line|North Woolwich – Richmond]] (the North London Line)
*[[West London line|Willesden Junction – Clapham Junction]] (the West London Line)
*[[Watford DC line|London Euston – Watford Junction]] via [[Willesden Junction station|Willesden Junction]] (the Watford DC line)
*[[Gospel Oak to Barking line|Gospel Oak – Barking]] (the Gospel Oak to Barking Line)
'''Silverlink County''' was used for services beyond Greater London:
*{{rws|Euston||London Euston}} – [[Northampton railway station|Northampton]] ([[Birmingham New Street railway station|Birmingham New Street]] until 2004)
*[[Abbey Line|Watford Junction – St Albans Abbey]] (the St Albans Abbey Line)
*[[Marston Vale line|Bletchley – Bedford]] (the Marston Vale Line)

====Birmingham/Northampton====

Birmingham Line services ran on the slow lines of the [[West Coast Main Line]]. The service was cut back to Northampton in September 2004, with services north of Northampton being transferred to partner operator [[Central Trains]],<ref>{{cite web |title="Slow" trains between cities cut |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/3637320.stm |publisher=BBC News |access-date=17 November 2019 |date=8 September 2004 |archive-date=22 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080422022707/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/3637320.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> and some through services remained. (Central Trains, like Silverlink, was a subsidiary of [[Mobico Group|National Express]] and the operations shared rolling stock.)
