Why this petition matters

Started by Shed Head

Shednumber2 Ltd (www.shedno2.co.uk an independent supplier to the heritage transport sector, producer of personal accessories and home goods made from historic transport fabrics, has received notice from TfL that it believes that the use of words in its product descriptions are in breach of trademark.  In the case, it appears that TfL assert that it is no longer possible to describe items with words such as Routemaster or District Line, as TfL claim trademark over the descriptive names.

The assertion will leave people unable to use everyday terms like “Overground" or "London Underground" giving Transport for London unparalleled control over Londoners everyday language. Please sign our petition:

By signing this petition, we request that TfL stop attempting to take control of London’s transport and historical narrative.
