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.

Kind of copied their logo too

Wow. That is a blatant copy.

It's not even a line - most of the lines will use it as an alternative to the Merivale bridge. It's just a new tunnel for the network.
