    What's wrong with the traditional names?
    Nothing. What's wrong with new names?
    They are based almost wholly on identity politics.

    some think that’s good.

    Others think that is divisive.

    so not every will think they are good, and not everyone will think they are bad.

    and I think that somewhat proves the point.
    In a way that Bakerloo, Elizabeth, Jubilee, Victoria and Waterloo & City aren't? 
    Correct.
    You obviously know the origins behind the names that Stig reminds us of ? If you do then your previous assertion is completely redundant.
    Only if you don’t understand the concept of identity politics…
    You’re arguing against yourself
    How's that? Please let me know.

    Irrespective of the names, I do think that there are too many lines now and this will add to confusion. 

    As someone who works in design, this is overkill, especially as these are ‘minor lines’.

    Additionally what will happen if TFL take over Southeastern for example. Another 6 colours?

    The small maps on the trains are already cramped without the updated lines….

    How do people have the time and energy to get upset over what tube lines are called? I'm so tired all the time.

    Far clearer now. Look how many lines the Victoria line crosses. Having them all labelled Overground was ridiculous.

    really shit line
    absolutely shit line
