Still has that offensive advertising for a mobile phone company on it.

Where does it have the offensive advertising?

I believe James is grumpy that TfL have mentioned the only reason why
anyone might choose to go to North Greenwich as part of the station's
name on the map.

It's not part of the station's name... so why is it on the map?

Do you similarly object to Maritime Greenwich being advertised at
Cutty Sark?

Since that is part of the station's name, no.

In any case, it's not directly comparable, as "Maritime Greenwich" is
not a company.

TFL seem to have pulled the new map from their website.

I wonder what the issue is

Most likely whoever changed the site was too early and was told to get it
removed - I wouldn't have expected it to change until the actual day...

He should get over to a more recent thread and grump up about what they've
done to Gillespie Road!

I believe Herbert Chapman paid for that...

But critically you can't prove it, which is all part of the genius of
the great Mr Chapman!

How he persuaded UERL to change the station's name from Gillespie Road
to Arsenal is hazy - whether the reasoning for this has been lost in
the mists of time, or was perhaps a little less than opaque in the
first place (cough cough, splutter splutter), is up for the reader to
decide ;-)

Was Mr Chapman not a 'good friend' of the Chairman or UERL, Lord
Ashfield ...?

It would be pretty mischievous to suggest that the 1930's aren't
called Golden Age for London's transport for nothing, so I won't.

Indeed. But the fundamental difference between the two cases is that
Gillespie Road station was actually re-named.
