What's so confusing about Liverpool St? Is it just because trains from
there don't go to Liverpool? Cos if it is, I fear there's an awful lot
of renaming to do! eg, London Road in Brighton doesn't have any
services to London.

The confusion is quite simple: many tourists, especially from north
America, habitually leave off the "street", so a train to "Liverpool"
and a train to "Liverpool St", are synonymous.

It used to be great fun at Cambridge a few years ago. From the same
platform services ran to, "London Kings Cross", "Kings Lynn", "London
Liverpool Street" and "Liverpool Lime Street". Good game, good game...
