Default Station names

...

Kilburn Park ----------- Kilburn Central


Except that Kilburn Park station is not in the centre of Kilburn, but
Kilburn High Road station is.

Stonebridge Park ------- OK (no idea what else to call it)


Tokyngton. Stonebridge Park is an insignificant road, closer to Harlesden
Station.

North Wembley ---------- OK
South Kenton ----------- OK


Except that South Kenton station is actually in North Wembley. Perhaps it
could be called Preston West... or Preston Western has more of a ring to it.

Harrow and Wealdstone -- Wealdstone


I agree totally on this one. I think the name may have something to do with
the old boundary between Harrow and Wealdstone boroughs, but I only have a
borough map of the area going back to the 1950s, and Wealdstone borough had
already been absorbed by then.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
