Does anyone know why Latimer Road station is so called when it is actually
on Bramley Road and is some distance from the road with the same name?

What is now Freston Road, just to the west of Bramley Road, used to be
the southern section of Latimer Road. When the Westway was built,
Latimer Road was effectively cut into two and the southern end
renamed.

I would guess that in those days Latimer Road was a more major
thoroughfare, and the station was named after that rather than the
(presumably) quieter Bramley Road.

Others will know more, I'm sure...
