Today's Google Maps fail

[morwen]

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!

They seem to have automated applying single labels to multiple objects that are geographically close and share some kind of tag: in this case, 'Public Transport'.

This probably worked OK when it was tested in cities with sparse public transport... Which means its probably working just fine in the USA: it could be a while before Google see fit to fix it.
