London Overground

The London Overground is to be rebranded into six lines with names inspired by the capital’s and the country’s diverse modern history, from Windrush to the Lionesses.

In autumn, the web of orange on the tube map will be replaced by six colours and routes to help make the capital’s public transport network easier to navigate.

The six Overground lines will be called Lioness, Mildmay, Windrush, Weaver, Suffragette and Liberty.

The names – announced by Transport for London (TfL) and the city’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, after consultation with passengers, historians and communities – celebrate historic moments in immigration and woman’s equality, honouring campaigners and workers.
