'Thoughtless' tube station renaming nets TfL £500,000

Transport for London received £500,000 by temporarily changing the names of two Tube stations in the past year.

Old Street became Fold Street, raising £300,000 as part of a collaboration with Samsung, while Bond Street was renamed Burberry Street last September, fetching £200,000.

Transport for All, a disabled-led campaign group, said: "Thoughtless PR stunts being used to plug holes in TfL funding cannot be at the expense of accessibility and safety for disabled passengers."

TfL said "any revenue received through these collaborations is reinvested into the transport network".
