London Overground: New names for its six lines revealed

With each line given separate colours, the rebrand means major changes to London's famous Tube map.

Divisive!

No Gammon Line ?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Ha ha

The mother of all hissy fits incoming. GB News will talk about absolutely nothing else today

 

[Colonel Mustard]

They'll have to build a few more virtue signal boxes to cope with all of these.

I am on the Weaver Line. To be honest once I knew that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Line was out of the question , I was definitely hoping for the Queen Camilla Line. Oh well at least it isn't the Tottenham Hotspur Line.

I am on the Weaver Line.

You have no authority!

assume was a wind up then saw it was BBC and it all made sense.

Disappointed the trans haven't got a line. Could be large protests coming

Joey Barton has just spontaneously self combusted, so at least there's that.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

It is all depressingly “woke”. What is it with this country that now wants to idolise women , minority groups and perverts ?

 

[Man of Harveys]

I thought “City boy cheeky line” was a given tbh

I know she has a new album coming out in April, which I'm very much looking forward to, but that's quite a PR coup for Jane Weaver.

I like the change but cant help but think the tube map has become a bit of a mess, not sure it should include mainline train lines for example.

Definitely missed a trick here, could have had a line with no name or station names so that when people ask where it goes or stops the staff could simply answer with please don't assume their stops.

The Lioness name is poor given 1966 and all that. The other lines named after 20th century (or earlier) events.

As others have suggested on Twitter, Sweet Caro-line would have been fun.

Gingerism.

 

[Bry Nylon]

No Steve Wright In the Afternoon Line, ffs?

f***ing shambles.

Change to 'Three Lines'? That'd confuse the tourists.

In fairness, there's already the Trans Siberian Railway.

Perhaps we could also have the Replacement Bus Service line.
