Summary of request
Your request
I would like to understand the total cost in the recent renaming of the London Overground line. Including the following
- Cost of specific meetings, sub meetings relating to subject in relation to staff and attendees costs.
- Cost of fact finding trips , on site meetings and consultation fees
- Cost of design, printing, delivery and installation of maps, train route maps in trains, labels any other related printing costs.
Our response
The London Overground network has grown considerably over recent years. Today the network covers 113 stations across six routes. Giving each of the six routes their own line name and colour will make travel on London Overground easier and simpler for TfL customers.
The changes will make it easier to understand when and where to change lines, and any service updates that might affect your journey. London Overground services will not be impacted by these changes, and customers will still be able to make the same journeys.
The costs for the project are being met by the GLA and have been fully accounted for in TfL’s budget. The estimated cost is £6.3m. This includes re-designing and re-displaying new maps across the 113 Overground stations in London, as well as updated printed and online maps, digital screens, and re-recording PA announcements.
