Line maps and announcements are beginning to mention interchange with
London Overground services. This is already a little confusing -
Euston, Highbury and Blackhorse Road all interchange with entirely
different lines, though you wouldn't know it from the linear map of
the Victoria line.

And if Ken is serious about bringing more and more lines into the LO
branding, the situation's going to get worse.

So... would it make more sense to give individual routes names? Or
even numbers, continental style? If so, what could they be?

You mean like North, West, & East London Lines, which everyone already
knows, The DC lines - which may not be so well known. Ken has previously
referred to them as being collectively the 'North London Railway'.


As the routes evolve, though, and direct trains run from Barking to
Clapham Junction, that might become a little out of date.

Anyway, TfL have already announced that they aren't going to use individual
line names on the 'tube map'. Because it works ok with the DLR
apparently...


It's fine while it's just the Silverlink lines. It's when Southern
comes into the fold as well things might start getting complicated.
