Re: Sadiq Khan
I can just imagine you having a panic attack when you alight one of the overground trains and hear "this is a windrush/lioness/suffragette line service to...".
You could've stopped all this if only you'd responded to TFLs public consultation.

Re: Sadiq Khan
If my memory serves me correctly, Lambrini said the she doesn't have a problem with the renaming......
'I'm not upset by the renaming part. Everyone knows TFL has been struggling financially for some years now, so it makes no sense whatsoever to spend millions on mere branding, particularly when the current Overground system works fine for Londoners and tourists alike'.
Therefore, please explain your comments above about her having a panic attack.
Goading other posters is one thing, having to make up lies to do it, is gutter tactics.

Re: Sadiq Khan
The train announcement will say that, but I'm sure 99% of people will still just refer to it as the Overground (or the Goblin and other more localised terms that people use already).
WOKE AND PROUD

Re: Sadiq Khan
I'm not upset by the names. Where did I say that?
As for the consultation, you're right, I missed it. That doesn't mean I can't voice my opinion about TFL's decision.

Who's stopping you from voicing an opinion? All I see is a rebuttal of the weak and incoherent justifications you presented.lambrini wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 5:24 pm

The rebrand is taking place , like it or not. Most TFL passengers won't be so offended by what's happening. And Sadiq Khan will be re-elected as mayor in May 2024.

Re: Sadiq Khan
To The Tick
Lambrini has clearly stated that her problem is with the cost not the renaming. You have just made up a lie to goad her with it.
You have been goading posters almost solidly for the last three days who have criticised this action to the point of obsession. Moreover, you have ignored two warnings about your posts.
Have you got any defence?

Re: Sadiq Khan
Aaaaaand that's why the renaming is stupid. It will make no difference because the current system, the 'Overground' and its routes, are sufficient enough.
Thank you for proving my point

Re: Sadiq Khan
The weakness of the cover justifications such as cost. At the beginning the accusations were that TFL was in financial dire straits. Once that myth was dispelled, the argument changed to "it's a lot of money". When that was dispelled the argument was changed to "it could've been spent better elsewhere".
In other words, cost wasn't the underlying issue behind the objections to TFLs rebranding. If it was, the argument would be more water tight than that.
