I like what they were going for but Liberty Line feels like a bit of a cop out, named after "the freedom that is a defining feature of London". Better than just more monarch names though I suppose.

Apparently it's the Liberty Line because the "we've spent far too much time trying to find something nice to say about Romford" Line wouldn't fit on the signs.
