Renaming train stations in London
CityMetric’s Johnn Elledge argues why the stations that will (eventually) be used by Crossrail are all using the wrong names. Like any good argument he not only spots the problem, but proposes a solution…. rename them all with slightly more logical arguments:
Whitechapel is fine. We have no complaints about Whitechapel.
Although since we’re here it seems a good moment to note the mildly ridiculous fact that, at Whitechapel, the London Underground runs overground, and you have to walk down some stairs to reach the London Overground. Which runs underground.
It’s like they’re doing it deliberately.
