London Overground line naming Transport for London We’re naming the London Overground lines to make the network easier to navigate and reflect the Capital’s diverse history. We aim to make the changes by the end of 2024. Each of the 6 routes that make up the London Overground will be given a new name and its own colour. Giving each of the 6 London Overground routes an individual line colour lets us improve the way our customers experience our network. It also gives each line their own name and identity. Euston to Watford Junction line – will be called the Lioness line – and will be yellow Stratford to Richmond/Clapham Junction line – will be called the Mildmay line – and will be blue Highbury & Islington to New Cross/Crystal Palace/West Croydon/Clapham Junction line – will be called the Windrush line – and will be red Liverpool Street to Cheshunt/Enfield Town/Chingford line – will be called the Weaver line – and will be maroon Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line – will be called the Suffragette line – and will be green Romford to Upminster line – will be called the Liberty line – and will be grey To find out more information, please click here. http://https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/london-overground/overground-line-naming?intcmp=75262&cid=email_FINAL_TFL1396_London_Overground_line_naming-here In addition, specific improvements will also include: • Greater customer confidence • Clearer wayfinding • Clearer service disruption information London Overground will remain as the umbrella brand, keeping the iconic orange roundel.

Mini ramps have arrived Now available in 47 step-free Tube stations Following a successful trial of a new mini ramp at eight step-free stations on the Jubilee line in 2023, we are launching mini ramps at 47 step-free Tube stations today (Thursday 15 February). Mini ramps were developed following some customers telling us the step/gap on step-free to train platforms is a barrier to them being able to get on and off Tube trains confidently. Mini ramps cover the small remaining step/gap on step-free to train platforms, and make it easier for customers to get on and off the train. In particular, they offer people who use mobility aids with small or swivel wheels additional comfort and reassurance. If you would like to use a mini ramp, please ask for help from staff, or press the information button on a help point. Quick and easy to use, our staff are trained to use mini ramps and will be happy to lay one down for you. We will be launching mini ramps at more step-free London Underground stations later this year. https://tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibility/ramps-at-stations?cid=email_FINAL_TFL1371_Mini_ramp_launch-Visit+our+webpage |
