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?


Surely you mean Neil Hannon.
