Can’t be too much longer before the Geordie masses demand that everything in Newcastle is named after Kevin Keegan…:rolleyes:

Why is it – as far as I am aware – that the “name it after someone famous” syndrome only seems to afflict airports? Have any railway or bus stations or harbours received this treatment? If it’s such a good idea for airports, maybe someone should suggest to the powers that be that they could apply their ingenuity to other transport embarkation locations. Maybe New Street could be renamed Birmingham Ozzie Osbourne Station? Or perhaps Victoria bus station might become the Noel Coward International Coachport ? Does anyone famous have any connections with Dover so that they can attach his or her name to the ferry port? There may be some justification for naming when a city has more than one airport (or other transport embarkation location) but, even then, is it not better to adopt a geographically specific name – such as London Gatwick – so that passengers have some idea of where they will end up without having to consult a map!
