Saw this article on the BBC website.

Whilst it will probably never come to fruition, does anyone have any amusing suggestions regarding renamings for stations and lines?


Branston's Piccadilly line
MB Games' Bakerloo Line
Jimmy Saville's Northern Northern Northern line

Don't get the last 2

anyway - im sure this came up on the news way back in the mid 90s

what about Ladbrokes grove

Hornchurch becomes Hornby-church

Could Old Holborn get in with appropriate sponsorship?

Could the Strand brand of cigarettes be relaunched with a new, dynamic, City
of London association?

What a great shame the actor Stratford Johns is no longer "with us" to
sponsor his own station.

And do we know a geezer named Blake Hall who might like sponsorship as a
vanity project? Or Lester Square?

A dynamism exemplified by the dilapidated former station in Surrey Street?

Lester Square was the lead guitarist of The Monochrome Set, but I doubt
if he's minted enough to afford to have a tube station named after him ;-)

In case you hadn't noticed, tobacco advertising has been banned in the
UK for about a decade.

Strand Electronics, then?

Ah yes.

It just sounded like a good wheeze to me.
