See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:operator#Owner_or_brand_name_aren.27t_necessarily_the_operator You should tag operator=* with the actual operator, which in your case would be either London Overground Rail Operations or KeolisAmey Docklands Ltd. This is despite the fact that the franchise may change every few years: if and when it does, the values of operator=* should be updated. I would recommend also tagging "brand=Transport for London".
