New names given to London Overground’s train lines have prompted some to assert that the changes represent a humiliating “woke rebrand”.
Transport for London said it wanted to give the lines, which were previously unnamed, “distinct identities” in order to help commuters navigate the network.
“The services will become known as the Lioness line; the Mildmay line; the Windrush line; the Weaver line; the Suffragette line; and the Liberty line,” reports the BBC.
The names were partly chosen to reflect London’s “cultural diversity,” according to TfL.
Reaction was swift.
“Knife crime is through the roof. Yet Sadiq Khan wastes time with a woke rebrand of the London Overground inc Lioness, Rushmore & Suffragette lines,” wrote Martin Daubney.
“He should include the Cockney Line: a one-way route out of London, for the white working classes, displaced by unchecked immigration.”
Others noted that the changes felt Soviet.
Some wondered whether the diversity rebrand was in honor of the wondrous benefits diversity has brought to London.
Suffice to say, people weren’t best pleased, with the changes costing over £6 million pounds.
One person invented more suitable names.
As we previously highlighted, road names in the UK are also being given politically correct names.
After Birmingham City Council invited members of the public to come up with new street names for a regeneration scheme, winners included “Diversity Grove” and “Equality Road”.
It’s all so tiresome.

Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
Yeah, your complete lack of maths skills and that of a bunch of people who waste their time on X has been noted and is really tiresome. A rebrand of a bunch of lines is a lot cheaper than actual serious engineering works, and there is some hope that it makes moving around a little easier (names help). So it is better than nothing. But, because lots of people lack a job that is actually essential and instead have one that consists on belly-aching about the fact that they are prime candidates for conversion into soup, should we actually return to the Middle Ages and be forced to triage people, you are focusing your efforts on pissing people off for no reason.
Remember: the main difference between migrants and locals is that most migrants were smart enough to do something to come here and better their lives. Locals, on the other hand, all they have to do is be born here and get benefits for existing. When I got my British nationality I asked around my native-born British friends if they had to swear loyalty to the monarchy at any point, like I had to do in my nationality ceremony. Apparently not. I asked: “Then, why do I have to?” And one of them wryly answered: “The Queen needs *some* loyal subjects, you know.”
Horse hockey!
Troll elsewhere, leftard.
