I see that the DLR has "Custom House for ExCel", the latter being
somewhere that might not survive in its current form during an extended
recession.
Why would that be a problem any more than the fact that there hasn't
been a working Customs House there for ages either?

And it's not as if it's the only one either. How about "Cutty Sark for
Maritime Greenwich"? The station isn't called "Custom House for Excel",
it's Custom House, the "for Excel" bit being a useful description to
help the vast number of visitors who don't know the area and for whom
the name of the station isn't helpful.

I was using a London Connections map which has the "for ExCel" on it.
