Default Lyndhurst Road station - petition

"Road" stations are a bad thing IMO. The fact that there are others

doesn't
mean it is a good idea to reintroduce one that has already been "fixed".


They are a bad thing when they are used to disguise the fact that the
station is nowhere near the place in the station name: the "Road" in
"Wantage Road" and "Beaulieu Road" means (but only to the initiated) "it's
bloody miles away from X"!
