So maybe we won't get full names, but instead end up having Overground A, Overground B and so on.Įven so, it's still going to look congested.

This got us thinking about what Paris does with its Métro system - the trains whizz around on numbered lines, but it also has the five-line express RER service, where the lines are lettered. However, we've heard there is also consideration that the Overground lines will get official names (such as East London Line, North London Line) and in doing so, will get new individual colours as well. With this TfL Rail add-on, plus the mess of orange lines for the Overground, the map's going to look like a congested mess, right? Well, what we've assumed until this point is that all the Overground lines will stay orange. They won't be new trains, but it's going to be branded TfL Rail (see image below), and will likely also appear on the tube map. What will eventually be one of the eastern branches of Crossrail also runs through Romford, with a company called MTR taking over the running of existing trains between Shenfield and Liverpool Street. Does that means there's going to be a small spur of orange all by itself? But none of it includes three further new stations due to appear on the Overground: from the end of May, TfL is also taking over the Romford to Upminster line (with just the one stop Emerson Park in between). There has already been speculation about what the tube map will look like with these additional lines. TfL taking on the routes will mean we're likely to see a new sprawl of orange lines in the top right hand corner of the map, showing services between Liverpool Street and Enfield Town, Cheshunt and Chingford.
