Google Maps has decided to randomly rename lots of railway stations in London after nearby bus stops. We also have a bonus triplication of the caption for New Cross station!

Also spotted in Brighton&Hove and West Midlands.
My favourite so far is Tyseley in Birmingham which has been imaginatively renamed "Tyseley, before Tyseley Station"
And clicking on them brings up the popup for the bus stop, not the station!
I do wonder what they are smoking.
