Tube Lines Could Be Sponsored To Reduce Fares
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22745677
Saw this article on the BBC website. Whilst it will probably never come to fruition, does anyone have any amusing suggestions regarding renamings for stations and lines? |

Could the Strand brand of cigarettes be relaunched with a new, dynamic, City of London association? What a great shame the actor Stratford Johns is no longer "with us" to sponsor his own station. And do we know a geezer named Blake Hall who might like sponsorship as a vanity project? Or Lester Square? -- Brian "Fight like the Devil, die like a gentleman." |

Lester Square was the lead guitarist of The Monochrome Set, but I doubt if he's minted enough to afford to have a tube station named after him ;-) |

Rename Vauxhall as "Opel Station". Grieg's Bakers Street. Perhaps the Tolstoy estate would be interested in a Warren Peace Street. |
