Default Stations named after commercial entities


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.


Last time I was there it was called "Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich
for the University of Greenwich",
with the "CSfMG" in big.
