      Londoners will still call it the Goblin.

      Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the overall name for the Overground, the Ginger Line.

      no, it’s the Goblin and anyone who disagrees is going to get funny looks

      Same with the “Elizabeth line”, it’s too many syllables so the most people can stretch to is “Lizzie Line”, “Platty Tube” or “Crossrail”
