Transit photo of the day: A London Overground class 710 “Aventra” leaving Hyam’s Park near Chingford on the Weaver Line.
This is one of a few level crossings on the Overground network.

What could have been.
/by @diamondgeezer
It's #PhotoMonday today! (And the first in 2025.) This time, a photograph of a bench at an #overground station I took a while ago actually.
I have some thoughts about how the new London Overground line names have influenced the Rainbow Box on TfL's website.
It gets a bit out of hand and I started redesigning the TfL design standards... Ooops!
You can read about it here:
https://technicalotter.github.io/blog/2024/12/01-TfL-Rainbow-Box.html
It's very nice to see the new #LondonOverground line names on the #TfL website.
There's still some design quirks to work out (I'm looking at that minimal colour difference between the Jubilee and Liberty lines) but it's a great start.
Now can we work on a) bringing the rest of the metro heavy rail services into TfL's purvue, b) showing the Elizabeth line simply as "Elizabeth" and c) treating EL and OL services as one mode?
Thanks!
