Naming of service

The name proposed for this service in 2015 was 'Barking line'. In 2021, Sadiq Khan announced that if re-elected as Mayor of London, he would give the six services operated by London Overground unique names that would reflect London's diversity, working with his Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm. In July 2023, Sadiq Khan, Head of TFL and Mayor Of London announced that it would be giving each of the six Overground services unique names, relevant to the "historical contributions by minority groups" of the area the service passes through by the end of the following year.

On 15 February 2024, it was confirmed that the Gospel Oak to Barking section would be named the Suffragette line, to honour East London's major contribution to the Suffragette movement. Barking activist Annie Huggett, who died in 1996 at the age of 104, was known as “The Last Suffragette” due to her great age. The line is coloured green on the network map; green , along with white and purple, was one of the colours of the Suffragette movement.
