Such a mixed-up station name. It is a cross between Pebble Mill and Pudding Lane. I wonder what would happen at such a venue?

Yes, it's a pity they didn't take the opportunity to rename it with
the re-siting. The old Pudding Mill Lane is hardly an important
thoroughfare, so some sort of Olympic Park-related name might have
been better for the large new station.

Incidentally, here's a panorama shot I took from the existing small
station of the large new station under construction in July 2012, just
before the Olympics:

And here's one I took a year ago, from the Orbit tower:

I like the old name but I suppose it really should be... Greenway?
Olympic Stadium? (Tourists arrive at Olympia instead.) QE Olympic
Park...? I must go and see what the park is like now. I went last
Summer, got a sunny day, it was fantastic.

Yes, Greenway was my first thought, as the station is right next to it and
the name's nice and short. I'll be interested to see how easily you can get
across the Greenway to the park from the new station.
