  • Walking the TfL map – 07 March

    Once of the nice things about the different bits of the Overground getting names is that it gives me more lines to cross off.

    And on that note, the Mildmay line is now DONE.

  • Updating my walking map with the new names for the Overground lines

    Okay, so I haven’t done any more walks, but I have now updated my progress map to include the newly-named Overground lines.

    This also means that I can tick off 3 new lines: the Liberty, the Lioness and the Weaver.

    My walking progress so far
