I notice that part of Gillett St N16 has been renamed to Bailey
Place N16... unfortunately, there is already a Batley Place N16,
so there will be numerous letters sent to the wrong address over
the next 50 years.

Not if the rest of the postcode is present and is used.

Now let's talk about an Underground system that has two stations
called Edgware Road and one called Edgware, but where trains to
Ealing Broadway station are marked Ealing

Abbreviated destination blinds on the District such as 'Ealing',
'Putney' and 'High Street' have not been seen since the retirement of

R/CO/CP stock in about 1983. *Actually there's the exception of
'Olympia' which is still seen on D stock (both before and after
refurbishment). *Also I did once see a train of original D stock on
the High Street-Olympia shuttle with the ambiguous 'Kensington' on
the blind.

As I remember, 1962 stock on the Central had "EALING BDY" and R stock
on the District had "EALING BDWY".

"BDY" was a standard LT abbreviation for "Broadway" up to at least the
late 1960s. I remember buses to HAMMERSMITH BDY, for example.
