It’s been barely a few hours since TfL revealed that the lines of the London Overground would be getting their own names and colours. The Lioness, Mildmay, Windrush, Weave, Sufragette and Liberty lines will all soon be coming to transport maps and signs near you.
And, naturally, as likely the biggest shake-up to the capital’s transport system since the opening of the Elizabeth line, Londoners have had a lot to say about it all. From the wholesome to the fun-poking, here are some of the highlights from X (fka Twitter) and Instagram.

We are honoured: The Mildmay line: Stratford to Richmond/Clapham Junction - It has been named after the small charitable hospital in Shoreditch, which played an important role during the HIV/Aids crisis in the 1980s https://t.co/M5He16SqDO

Disappointed that the Weaver line isn’t a tribute to Jackie Weaver.
