Cross River Rail to be renamed after Elizabeth II if LNP wins Queensland election - eviltoast
The LNP launched a petition after the Queen's death calling for the rail project to be renamed the "Elizabeth Line", and will go ahead with the proposed name change if they win the state election.

    Literally just copying London. The article says

    The proposal mirrors a similar move in London where a new rail line was called the Elizabeth Line

    But it’s even more similar than that. The workong name for the Elizabeth Line was “Cross Rail”. Which sounds awfully similar to “Cross River Rail”.

    But also, since when did we name lines that way? All our lines are named for their terminus. There’s no reason that should change.
