Default Refurbishment (well, creation) of Acton Main Line station

Speaking of renaming, I've disliked the name of Liverpool Street for a
long time, mostly because quite a few stations have direct trains to
London Liverpool Street and Liverpool Lime Street, although
fortunately Stansted is apparently no longer among them. (Ross
Ancromarty used to say that every time he operated a train out of
Stansted he would give one last warning that the train was going to
Liverpool rather than London, and some people would always get off.)


iirc the felony was compounded by a few of them leaving (possibly
Cambridge) at the same time.

The only other stations with direct trains to both, are Ely and Audley
End. For a couple of years also Peterborough (via Ely and Ipswich).

However, Ely only has four a day to Liverpool St, all in the morning
rush hour.


Norwich has trains to both.


Yes, it does! A little voice in my head kept saying "Norwich" to me, but
sadly I ignored it.
