[edit] New names--jumping the gun a little?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Rather than cross-posting this same topic across many talk pages (don't do that, by the way), let's have it in one place. As I have already responded to this topic at Talk:King Street – Old Town (WMATA station) before discovering your cross posting of the same topic, let's just have the discussion there.

It seems to me, we're jumping the gun a bit on these new station names. Yes, I see the November 3, 2011 announcement from Metro, confirming the new names. But as I understand it, the changes are to go into effect in June, 2012. As of this morning, when I rode the Red Line into work, the signs still say New York Ave-Florida Ave-Gallaudet U. And the train operator announced the station that way. Now, granted, this particular train operator was, until recently, announcing "Silver SpringS" with an S. But Metro's website is still using the old names. 140.147.236.195 (talk) 17:14, 15 November 2011 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza
