I wholly appreciate that these names were well thought out to celebrate the individual line and local heritage, but does the Overground system really need it? In my opinion No, as the tube map is already overcrowded and confusing as it is, let alone for foreigners, if anything I found the consistency of the orange welcome, as I would immediately associate said tone with the London Overground. I just think erecting individual colours akin to the London Underground will just merge the Overground lines as if they are part of the Underground (If you know what I mean) I rather liked the Overground as its own orange network, and I just think adding more colours will just add confusion. However on a brighter note, I think the names have been extremely well chosen, and celebrate the history of the areas excellently. Maybe TFL could rename the lines, however retain the universal orange, how is that of a compromise?
Just intrigued whether London Overground trains will receive an updated livery? maybe the 710/s on the Lea Valley Lines could be given a livery bespoke to the weaver district, and could the 710/2s have a livery celebrating the Lionesses?
Also, I am interested to see updated station signage regarding to local history of each line.
