Interesting. If they do get all those, I wonder would some kind of
line naming or German-style route numbering make sense? A big map of
orange lines is not an awful lot more useful than what is the case now.


Yes, I think a German-style route numbering system would make sense. That's
probably already true of the existing Overground, let alone the much
expanded one envisaged.


Ditto for Thameslink - and most of the existing documentation shows it
split into the various routes already.


Couldn't hurt doing it on the DLR either.
