For what reason? The new name makes much more sense!

Amen! I just looked at the map... http://tinyurl.com/r333

Even if renamed you might find it being called Lyndhurst Road New
Forest, like Oxenholme the Lake District or Penrith North Lakes.

The reason for renaming stations like this is to alert people of their
proximity to these places so that the stations get better use.

Queen's Road Battersea became Queenstown Road, both in fact and as a station name.

Although the street level building still proudly declares it to be
Queens Road LSWR.

Just be grateful it wasn't renamed Lyndhurst Parkway.

I rather like stations with 'Parkway' in the name, as it happens.

'Southampton Parkway' (none of these ****y 'Airport' variants) is an
integral part of the route through Lyndhurst Road to Bournemouth.
