Gospel Oak
Transport for London are making sure everyone will know that the Overground lines are to be named and the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line, affectionately nicknamed the GOBLIN for over 40 years, will become (ridiculously in my view) 'The Suffragette Line' as per this platform notice at Gospel Oak on 17th February 2024. The adjacent Overground line from Stratford to Richmond/Clapham Junction will be the 'Mildmay Line' and another notice to this effect was displayed in the ticket hall. The change is costing £9.3 million as maps, diagrams and station signs will have to be amended. Money that could be better spent on bringing the Central and Bakerloo Lines back from the doldrums, especially the latter where passengers continue to travel in moth-eaten 52 year old trains, the oldest on the Underground, that were out-of-date 20 years ago.
