Transport for London has revealed six new names for the Overground’s various routes, and the Lionesses are getting their flowers with a line named after them.

The new Lioness Line – running from Euston to Watford Junction – celebrates England Women’s 2022 Euros win, with the line going through Wembley past the stadium where they lifted the trophy. 

The rebranding of the routes is intended to simplify the Overground map, whilst reflecting the history and culture of London on each line. The other lines will be named the Windrush, Suffragette, Mildmay, Liberty and Weaver.

Wembley is one of football’s most iconic stadiums, and the setting of two England wins almost 60 years apart. For the Lionesses to get an ever-lasting tribute for their victory, especially considering how the win transformed women’s football and sport in England, is a touch of class from TfL. 

The rebrand will begin in autumn and be completed by the end of the year.  Next year, we’re heading to Wembley for the FA Cup final on the Lioness Line.
