the East London Line will be named Overground.
Is it going to stay on the Tube map?


Why shouldn't it? Its a map of TfL services - it includes DLR and Tramlink,
and the existing North London Line even though its under NR control (with
some TfL assistance) - what would they possibly gain by removing the ELL?

Well, they removed the central Thameslink connection, which was at one
time on there - and yes I know this isn't TfL operated, but it was hard
to see what they gained by its removal...

And the Tube map doesn't have Tramlink, at present - maybe they will add
it when ELLX opens and the Tube map then has to go south as far as West
Croydon?


What will cause confusion is the use of 'Overground' for 'London Rail' -
given that the term is already in use for certain parts of the South London
NR network. I can see that having to change again, but its really only a few
fancy signs on the platforms...

I remember when they introduced that 'Overground Network' branding to
minimal acclaim. Won't be sorry to see it go - never meant anything!
