Look at these memes about the London Overground names while you wait for your delayed train

‘Babe, I’m just hopping on the Suffy G line’

9 months ago

You may have all become familiar with the London Overground being a labyrinth of intersecting orange lines that are impossible to follow without studying them for years in preparation. Thankfully, that is all about to change as it was announced last Thursday that the six strands of the London Overground are to be renamed to reflect the diverse communities they pass through.

The TFL announced that the new names would be: the Lioness line, the Mildmay line, the Windrush line, the Weaver line, the Suffragette line and the Liberty line.

The internet has since been reacting to the renaming by taking to X (formerly Twitter) to show what they think should’ve been the new names. Here are some of the best memes reacting to the rename:
