Transport for London (TfL) is set to introduce new line names and colours across the London Overground network.

The changes, which aim to make navigation easier, will begin on November 20, with a full rollout expected by November 25.

This initiative follows a summer of customer engagement and is part of one of the "largest customer-focused projects" TfL has ever undertaken.

London’s Transport Commissioner, Andy Lord, said: "This is an exciting step as millions of customer journeys on the London Overground will be transformed by making it simpler to navigate.

"Individual line colours and names have helped customers navigate the Tube for more than a hundred years, so we wanted to take a similar approach on the London Overground.

"These changes will help improve customer confidence when travelling and encourage more to use our services."

The updates will include around 6,000 station wayfinding signs, Tube maps, station digital screens, onboard train information, Journey Planner, and TfL Go.

Audio and visual announcements on trains and stations will also be updated.

The rollout will see signage unveiled over nine days across the 113 stations that London Overground serves.

There will also be updates to in-train maps and line diagrams across the London Overground fleet, and an upgrade to the audiovisual passenger information system on the Class 378 trains, which run on the Lioness, Mildmay, and Windrush lines.

New Tube maps will be available at all stations, and online versions of maps will be live on the TfL website.

Updates to customer information screens and PA announcements at London Overground stations will also be made.

Digital channel updates, including the TfL website and TfL Go, will be completed in two phases by mid-December.

The audiovisual passenger information system on the Class 710 trains will follow by January 2025.

This is the first time each of the London Overground lines will be represented by a name and colour.

The new names and colours are Lioness (yellow), Mildmay (blue), Windrush (red), Weaver (maroon), Suffragette (green), and Liberty (grey).

These names were decided through engagement with stakeholders, customers, staff, historians, industry experts, and communities.

The line names reflect London's diverse history and culture.

Throughout the summer, TfL engaged with customers through various activities to help familiarise them with the new London Overground line names and colours.

This included a new series of TfL’s ‘Mind the Gap' podcasts that delve into the history of each line name.

These podcasts have been among the most popular TfL has produced.

TfL also teamed up with walking app Go Jauntly and launched six self-guided walks to help celebrate the new London Overground line names.

Each walk helps participants to delve into the stories behind each of the line names and visit points of interest while encouraging them to stay active.

The changes are part of TfL's ongoing efforts to improve the customer experience and make London's transport network easier to navigate.

TfL hopes that these changes will encourage more people to use the London Overground services.
