bickster Posted February 20 Moderator Share Posted February 20 Fun Fact about the new Overground line names The Suffragette line AKA the Goblin line (Gospel Oak to Barking Line) has a statue of Millicent Fawcett as its symbol She was a suffragist, not a suffragette.

Anyhoo, the people naming the lines got historians involved and discussed the whole suffragist / suffragette thing, not least because they were potentially naming a line after a violent pressure group. ‘They’ decided, that is the female historians checking out the line naming, that the proposal was fine and people debating these facts would actually be a good thing and add publicity and discussion. I have absolutely no proof of this, I think I started off trying to find a license to do some mud larking and ended up looking at new Thames crossings a couple of weeks ago.

Only pedants like me discuss such things, most people will concentrate on wokery gone mad / stupid name for a railway line etc. The only thing I dislike them for is the breaking of the naming conventions but they already did that with the Jubilee and Elizabeth lines anyway. The naming and map variations did need to be done though I think Though I did rather like the unofficial name for the Suffragette line - the Goblin Line (Gospel Oak to Barking Line) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Apparently he's straddled with horrendous amounts of debt and is bouncing around opening up new places in an attempt to stop it catching up with him The guy can't cook, great irony that you watch a video from a man famous for putting salt on a steak and he can't season his meat properly...

I just despise that performative nonsense. All for Instagram views. Cook my food in the **** kitchen. That's what it's there for.
