I'm generally pretty enthusiastically in favour of being 'woke', but I don't like some of these for probably the extremely trivial reason that they don't feel like tube line names. Windrush and Mildmay work alright, maybe because they're exclusively used as proper nouns, but having a 'Lioness Line' just feels so on the nose that I'd be embarrassed to say it out loud.
This I can get on board with.
Totally agree, Windrush, Mildmay, Liberty and Weaver lines all work as names.
Lioness doesn't - it's a bit Fast Shows Colin Hunt. Suffragette doesn't either.
The Lioness Line is obviously temporary, until the England cis men’s team win the euros, and the line is renamed the Pride Line to recognise both sets of lions, and I’ll have to get the bus

Agreed, except I think Liberty Line sounds too American
