London's iconic Tube map has undergone a significant transformation, with the introduction of six distinctively named Overground branches. In what is a landmark tribute to the achievements of England's women's football team, the route connecting Euston and Watford Junction will now bear the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lioness-england-women-london-overground-lines/blt590b8849aeb1624c" target="_blank">title of the "Lioness Line,"</a> symbolizing the team's remarkable successes and contributions to the sport.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Earps showed her excitement in an Instagram story with a caption that read: "This is so cool! I'm weirdly obsessed with the Tube map 🤣 This makes me so happy 😍😍".<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt06b1581cc73d282f/Snapinsta.app_428148358_18413944306061024_547718965969902170_n_1024.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt06b1581cc73d282f/Snapinsta.app_428148358_18413944306061024_547718965969902170_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt06b1581cc73d282f/Snapinsta.app_428148358_18413944306061024_547718965969902170_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Mary Earps England " data-source="" data-copyright="@1maryearps Instagram" data-portal-copyright="@1maryearps Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt06b1581cc73d282f;width:1152;height:2048"></picture>

WHAT EARPS SAID

The Lioness Line, depicted by yellow parallel lines on the Tube map, holds profound significance as it passes through Wembley Stadium, the historic venue where the Lionesses secured their Euro 2022 victory against Germany, thanks to Chloe Kelly's unforgettable injury-time goal. Joining the Lioness Line are five other distinct routes, each representing a unique aspect of London's rich history and culture. From the blue hues of Mildmay to the red tones of Windrush, and the maroon shades of Weaver, the rebranded lines pay homage to the diverse tapestry of the city's heritage, reflecting the neighbourhoods and landmarks they traverse.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While the primary focus of the overhaul is on enhancing navigational clarity, the symbolic significance of naming a line after the Lionesses extends beyond mere aesthetics. It serves as a lasting tribute to the team's achievements, immortalizing their legacy within the fabric of London's transport infrastructure. The ambitious transformation project comes with an estimated cost of £6.3 million. The revamped Tube map is likely to be unveiled later in 2024.
