London Overground Signs Offered for Sale, Priced Up to £950

Transport for London (TfL) is making available for purchase old Overground signs at the London Transport Museum shop. This initiative follows a rebranding of the Overground network, which TfL stated cost £6.3m, funded from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s Greater London Authority budget. The larger signs currently on offer are priced at up to £950 for rail enthusiasts. Smaller versions, which were initially available from £150, are now out of stock, according to information on the museum’s website. All proceeds generated from the sale of these signs will contribute to supporting the transport museum’s activities as an education and heritage charity. The new designations for the six Overground lines, formally introduced during a ceremony last week, are the Lioness line, the Mildmay line, the Windrush line, the Weaver line, the Suffragette line, and the Liberty line. TfL indicated that updating all stations with the new signage would require nine days. The network experienced a cyber security hack on 1 September, which impacted the rollout of the Overground rebranding. The Overground’s signage has been updated to replace what TfL referred to as “a complicated network of orange,” which they noted could be “confusing for customers less familiar with the network.”
