£6.3 Million properly allocated could pay salaries for (say) 200 nurses, perhaps 150 junior doctors, 200 school teachers etc etc .. anyone who says that £6.3 Million is NOT A LOT OF MONEY is an illiterate idiot
You know it’s a different budget and different organisation, you’re not that thick?
read the 'PROPERLY ALLOCATED' bit Rothicko .. 6.3 Million ridiculously allocated to this vanity nonsense instead of where it could do some good

You been hanging out with fhe Lincolnshire hillbillies too much, TfL doesn’t received direct funding from central government, so it’s using TfL own fare revenue to fund this, as well as funding others big fat pay rises and the freeze on fares
They say that these new names are for the "overground"....I take it they mean the overground part of the underground...yes ?
I'm also assuming that there are no breaks in the line/service and the lines run continuously into the "underground" as before....yes ?
If so....then why the need for change ? I know..... because of inclusivity, diversity and to be shown to be doing something "modern" and "out there". In reality its a total waste of £6m. The lines aren't changing and ultimately will just confuse more people that are "affected" by Windrush etc .
Well done Sadiq Khan, best Mayor since Livingstone. If the people don’t like you they have a chance to vote you out in May (if they can abide by the restrictive Tory voter ID rules).
£6.3 Million well spent (hahahaha) .. Sadiq Khan and his phoney crew are an absolute waste of space .. more P C tosh .. Lioness Line through Wembley ? .. I suggest the Clive Mendonca Line or the Bobby Moore Line
If the trains are having a shocker, it can be the naby line

I hope you genuinely haven't heard of the London Overground...
The thing with Sadiq Khan and the London Mayorship is that he could be there for decades given the bunch of complete no hopers that usually line up against him at election time .. God Help London

It's small when compared to billions lost elsewhere.
Brunel line would be better IMO but he already (deservingly) has a museum and university named after him in London and other prestigious buildings around the country like a shopping centre in Swindon. Like Charlton can't name everything after Sam Bartram, Brunell can't claim all of the glory.

People claiming it's a waste of money, this shows how confused some people are on the overground.
Someone pontificated "celebrates a thousand years of Londons history'", What a load of bollocks! Celebrates a load of politicians salivating over a boat turning up in the 1950's and a load of Doris' chaining themselves to railings... History? Of course, but 1000 years gives you a few more options. Smacks of playing to the crowd.

Overground is a totally different service to Underground.
Plenty of illiterate people voted for Brexit despite the billions and billions of damage it has inflicted on the UK economy and was always predicted to inflict. Over £100bn and counting so far (30bn for London alone) which massively reduces government revenue, which could have paid for all your thousands of doctors and teachers.
6.3m as a one off cost to TfL is nothing worth moaning about.

Quite, TFL have a budget of £9bn, so this is about 0.07%. Some people need a bit of perspective but then I feel they will look for any reason to have a moan about the mayor even when they don't live in London. Bizarre.

another one who considers £6.3 Million to be just a drop in the bucket .. financial and social illiteracy

Financial illiteracy? You might be shocked to know what my job is.
I'm struggling with the social illiteracy though? Care to expand on that?

It does stop in Shoreditch and Whitechapel though, areas with a strong Jewish history, so maybe that could have been honoured.
Or maybe it could have been named the Brunel line after the brilliant engineers who built the tunnel under the Thames it uses.

i care about the money wasted on this which could have been invested in improving the rail network and actually making it run regularly and on time.
