Jude Bellingham station to keep name until Monday

Bellingham railway station in south-east London will retain its temporary forename - Jude - until Monday, Thameslink has confirmed.

The England midfielder's name will be displayed over the weekend, with Thameslink hoping the signage would prove lucky for England's next fixture against Norway. on Saturday.

The name extension follows Bellingham's two goals in two minutes during the first half against Mexico at the Azteca Stadium, securing England's place in the the quarter final.

Bellingham - who has scored four goals in the tournament - was named player of the match for the 3-2 performance, with Harry Kane adding the third goal.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Ah, that picture brings back nostalgia - it was my local station where I was brought up in London, and I have happy memories of taking the basic but reliable half-hourly 4-EPBs on the Catford Loop line, up to 'the Elephant' (officially called Elephant and Castle), Blackfriars or occasionally Holborn Viaduct, or down to Shoreham in the quiet countryside of the North Downs.

An educated guess would be that the temporary changes will not extend to national databases such as ticketing.  The GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) website is offering me tickets to plain ole Bellingham.

One thing you can be sure of - it won't be Prince Harry's ferry!
