10) renaming & colouring of the London Overground lines
Following a successful launch at Highbury & Islington station in February where the Mayor of London officially announced the new names and colours for the London Overground lines, the project is in full delivery mode.
Work to update signage across all 113 London Overground stations is progressing well. The redesign of our suite of maps and customer information products, such as the iconic Tube map and on-train maps, have begun and our customer journey planning tools such as TfL Go and Journey Planner, are also in digital development. Work to ensure our frontline colleagues are armed with the knowledge they’ll need to help customers with their journeys and provide excellent customer service when the line names come into use later this year has also begun. The project remains on track to complete by end of 2024.
