Managed to get to an Underground station today to replace my faulty Oyster card but arghhh... look what I've been given: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49435266@N05/7234402872 I should have asked for the one with Oliver Cromwell. Maybe this one only works on the Jubilee line. I think Victoria Coach Station should be renamed Elizabeth Coach Station... is it after all in Elizabeth Street next to Elizabeth Bridge, and not exactly adjacent to Victoria Station or Victoria Street. |

That's not a bad idea. The Coach station should really be dissociated from the Tube/Train station. People arrive at Victoria Tube station thinking that the Coach Station will be right next door. As we know it is, with a bag, as much as a 15 minute walk along the Buckingham palace Road (if you get the directions right). Naming it Elizabeth anything wouldn't be my first choice. There is far too much infrastructure named after that old queen already. I would name it after a commoner. How about John Lennon? Oliver Reed? |
