What is the point of renaming the goblin? it already had a perfectly good name. I have forgotten the new one already.
These aren’t sticking. Goblin will forever be goblin, lea valley lines was a also a good name (and they aren’t the green one wtf?)
Librety also just sounds very american and doesn’t fit at all.
Dreadful. Awful. Terrible names. Taking away Goblin and none of these are names that make sense for London. It’s completely unnecessary and pretty terrible names to call the lines.
Aside from the Goblin, I have to say the weakest name has to be the Mildmay line, it doesn’t even pass through where this hospital is!! It’s in between Hoxton and Shoreditch stations
I refuse to use the W word, but…. damn….
Suffragette sounds like you’ll suffer on that line from all the delays
I feel like this will just confuse people more
Liberty line “to reference the historical independence of the people of the borough of Havering”.
As in, independent of London because it’s in Essex?
I’m happy enough ours is called the Lioness line and Windrush is fine but these names are generally a bit shit.
Lioness and Windrush are fine.
The others are pretty bad.
Is this a joke?? Please tell me it has to be a joke.
Is it the 1st April? What a waste of time and money.
>The services will become known as the Lioness line; the Mildmay line; the Windrush line; the Weaver line; the Suffragette line; and the Liberty line.
Is it April 1st already…? These are awful names for train lines.
And *brown* for the “Liberty Line”…? FFS.
Cringe names.
The names should follow their location and use not political events.
The Lioness name is absolutely ridicolous and the Liberty one makes me think of NYC.
I find these names quite weird (liberty? I type it and I get this: 🗽) and not really connected to the network…quite awful choices that will simply bring confusion where there was order …
