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?

The point is that there are probably many stations somewhat closer to
a relatively-permanent "Broadgate" than Liverpool Street station is.
