Now that arsenal footbal club have shoved off to drayton park , are
there any murmurings at LUL about renaming Arsenal station back to
Gillespie Road? Or would this just be too much money/hassle?

Seems pointless, given that Arsenal is the nearest tube station to AG.

Whats AG?


Ashburton Grove, the site of Arsenal's new stadium (although I think
Holloway Road station might actually be nearer).


Arsenal claim that Arsenal is the nearest, although this could be
because HR is exit-only on matchdays.


It depends where you are sitting. Arsenal is closest to the north end while
Holloway Road is closest to the south end of the stadium.
