Profits will go towards the London Transport Museum charity

Transport for London (TfL) is selling off the old Overground signs in the London Transport Museum shop.

It follows a rebranding of the Overground, which TfL claimed cost £6.3m, external, paid for out of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan's Greater London Authority budget.

The larger signs on sale will set rail enthusiasts back as much as £950. Although there were smaller ones on offer from prices starting at £150, these are already out of stock, according to the museum's website.

All profits made from selling off the signs will help fund the transport museum's work as an education and heritage charity.

The new names for the six lines of the Overground - officially unveiled in a ceremony last week - are the Lioness line, the Mildmay line, the Windrush line, the Weaver line, the Suffragette line and the Liberty line.

TfL said it would take nine days for all the stations to be updated with new signage.

The network was hit by a cyber security hack on 1 September, which affected the rollout of the Overground rebranding.

The Overground's signage has been changed to replace what TfL called "a complicated network of orange", which could be "confusing for customers less familiar with the network".
