The train lines on London's Overground, a rail system that largely serves people in neighborhoods outside of central London beyond the reach of the city's Underground system, will be renamed.
The new names are: Lioness, named after the English women's soccer team; Mildmay, honoring a small East London hospital with a pivotal role caring for patients during the AIDS crisis; Windrush, after the ship that brought some of the first migrants from the Caribbean to Britain; Weaver, which travels through an area once known for its textile trade; Suffragette, after the movement that fought for women's right to vote; and Liberty, which references the historical independence of the people of the Havering borough.
