Default London Broadgate station and that old fashioned 'junction' suffix

In message , at 23:05:53 on
Sat, 31 May 2008, Charles Ellson remarked:
Broadgate in Nottingham is a small street in Beeston miles from anywhere
you'd expect a railway station. You didn't mean Broadmarsh, did you
(always reminds me of a cross between Broadmoor and Belmarsh).

As a steet, I'd picked it as a (probably) more established use of the
name Broadgate than a "here today, gone tomorrow" [(c) Robin Day]
office development.


But Broadgate in Nottingham is miles from a railway station, so why use
it as a name?
