I didn't expect it because I knew already but it's not uncommon for 'new' services on TFL to use existing stations or already used trains. When TFL took over the overground sections it used a lot of the same stations, the Highbury and Islington to Rotherhithe overground used existing track, when TFL took over Greater Anglia lines we got the old trains and then eventually recycled Overground Trains some years later.
The Elizabeth Line is also doing some of this. Today’s the day the totally new core London route opened but between Stratford and Shenfield it's using an existing, but rebranded, line.
