The name proposed for this service in 2015 was the 'North London line'.[4] 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.[5] In July 2023, TFL announced that it would be giving each of the six London Overground services unique names by the end of 2024.[6][7] In February 2024, it was confirmed that the North London / West London section would be named the Mildmay line (to honour the Mildmay Hospital in Bethnal Green, which treated victims of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s) and would be coloured sky blue on the updated network map.[3]
In the official Mildmay line timetable, passenger train service provided by Southern between East Croydon and Watford Junction are indicated. These trains share tracks and plaforms with Mildmay line trains between Clapham Junction and Shepherd's Bush stations, after which they join the West Coast Main Line en route to Watford Junction. This service operates at a frequency of one train per hour.
