I doubt the name was changed on the ticketing system.
Oh no...!I'm not sure if this is purposeful facetiousness, but not only is he now the presenter of the most listened radio program in the UK, he has presented on the two most listened to national radio stations for more than 25 years, as well as presenting lots of high profile TV. I happen to be culturally unaware of lots of film stuff (much to many of my friends' amusement and/or disbelief), but there are times when even if I wouldn't recognise / name a film a famous actor has been in, at least I'd know of them

Sorry to prove you all wrong (along with @CardiffKid's post), but this has been done with roadsigns:
Bristol road names changed for free sandwich giveaway
The eatery will also be giving away 50 free sandwiches for National Sandwich Daywww.bristolpost.co.uk
Probably not so much now, all added to by this sort of bilge.
If a radio station has "presenters" I won't listen, all my listening is via internet-based radio stations where ads are few and DJ's don't exist. Websites usually display the track that's being played in case you want to download later. That being said, my usual go-to radio station, Ibiza Global radio, does have the occasional DJ so that's the exception that proves the rule.
Or Mills Hill or one of the New Mills stations.
People using headphones may not hear announcements, and those buried in a device or even a book (remember them?) may tune them out. They may however notice when the train is slowing to a stop, so it's important they can then quickly find out if this is their station or not. On-board displays may be showing this or may have moved on to lists of connections or something else even less relevant, so I suggest it's still important that people can find out by looking out of the window.
He had a station named after him too?
It's a shame Halesowen no longer has a railway station - that would be prefect for a rebrand on the 31st October. Maybe they'll just do a bus stop instead.
Or how poor people are at geography?! Which - of course - is a reason for keeping station names as they are. I would assume many look for a station knowing it's the one before they get off and can prepare, especially when they are close together. "Once we reach Stockport we can prepare to get off at Piccadilly". Doubt many - if not zero - passengers were confused by the change, but the underground once changed the name of a station to something completely different - a brand I think - which was appalling; especially considering the number of foreign visitors using that line.
That nation would have to rename one of its capital’s termini as well to avoid offence to another, so I think we can safely leave things as they are.
Oh yes, the great battle of Saint-Lazare.
That is the (very obviously) correct answer. This sort of nonsense just needs to be banned.
I set 'em up, you knock 'em down.
I thought it was where they make porridge…..
maybe I'm just more aware of things. I'm not a massive football fan but I know who Alex Scott is. I don't watch MOTD, but I'm aware she's a presenter of it, and I know she was a world cup winning footballer, despite having not watched any of the games. There's a clear analogy there again which I said last night: you don't need to listen to Radio 2 to be aware of its high profile presenters.
I've never heard of Alex Scott, nor would I recognise a picture of Scott Mills.
World Cup winning? Really?
oh, no!
I've just looked it up, I was a generation out (and the Women's Team won the Euros, but lost to Spain in the World Cup).
