You may think it's all very clever and progressive, it's just a shame you don't realise how divisive pathetic nonsense like this only serves to make the division greater in our society.
The simple fact is, London won't be better as a result of renaming these train lines.

This is just weird.

It's some train line names.

Get a grip.

First they rename OUR overground, next thing they will change the seat fabric to rainbows and the announcer will be non binary.

i love to see the gammon get so worked up about these things.

End of slippery slope?

Is that yet another new line? Do they accept Oyster?

[President Merkin]

It's thin end of the wedge you fool

People mixing up their exressions is a slippery slope alright.

I know what I meant. Once you get the thin end of a slippery slope wedged down your throat they'll come for the Jews. And it won't end there.

Giving each line a separate name seems like a really sensible idea to me?

Will make using the overground simpler for those who don't use it much. For example, to get from Highbury and Islington to Kensington Olympia, I have to get the overground with final destination Clapham Junction, but there are 2 possible overground lines between those points with only one stopping at Olympia. So chance of getting the wrong train..

In future,it'll be simpler as it'll just mean using the Mildmay Line to Clapham Junction.

Or are you saying we don't need separate names for any of the underground lines either??

Its totally sensible and long over due, especially for visitors to London.

[Randy Winkman]

I certainly know more about the lines and where they go because of this thread.

[Scottie - NW]

It's hard to decide which are the parody accounts and which are genuine responses to this thread. It's made me laugh a lot!

The problem is that some people are so triggered by this kind of thing, that it's hard to tell the difference between "outraged gammon" and trolling. JCF has form.

Of course it's sensible.

It's just weird watching grown men losing their st over the names.

To be honest, many of us could have identified those likely to fall into the "outraged gammon" category before the thread received any replies......

Isn't Gammon supposed to be racialist or something... Aren't we meant to call them "different realitied" or "rationally challenged". Grrr wokePC gone madz.

[bitchstewie]

Always makes me laugh that the people whining the most about the word gammon seem to be the ones who are almost always quite insistent other forms of racism are people making it up

At least these threads help me understand where GB news get’s its viewers.

Susan will sort it out, maybe the ‘Farage line’ (the line that goes nowhere)

Renaming tube lines = nice vanity project

As has been pointed out, they haven't be renamed. If they had, you might have a point about the £6m. But they haven't. They never had names. All these different lines were just "The Overground", which was just a mess. Confusing for us in London, let alone tourists. They should have been named years ago.
