In London there is much comment/amusement that what was previously collectively known as the Overground has been renamed and has had new (virtue) signalling installed! 

Loving the pun, but of course the lines are still collectively known as the Overground. Much in the same way that the Bakerloo and Jubilee line etc. are collectively still known as the Underground.

4. Barking Riverside on the [not stated] line - identified by eightonedee
Sorry - I've looked it up - the Suffragette Line. Not sure I could have guessed that!

Yet - Clapham Junction on the Mildmay Line, Romford on the Liberty Line, and the line to Barking Riverside is indeed the "Suffragette Line". I too am having trouble with the names. Only the line out of Liverpool Street not visited and I will have to look up that name .... time will tell how well these become known just as we all know where the Jubilee, Bakerloo, Central and Circle (Teacup!) go.

I think 5 might be Clapham Junction platform 2, as there is disused platform 1 to left. I think it is Mildmay line

I travelled on five out of the six (by name) overground lines on Monday - still not familiar with the names but getting there. Pictured:
1. To be identified
2. Crystal Palace on The Windrush Line - identified by Phil Wakely
3. South Hampstead, on the Lioness Line - identified by Chris from Nailsea
4. Barking Riverside on the [not stated] line - identified by eightonedee
5. To be identified

6. Can anyone tell me?
Trains on most of the lines fast and frequent and on all the lines modern and electric. Those that I knew to be timetabled were on time or within a couple of minutes, and connection to and from other bits of public transport worked well. No problem finding a seat on any of them, though one train filled well beyond the seating capacity at an intermdiate station. Much to write about when all identified, but catching up here after the last 48 hours of meetings (2), server issues, and life in general.
