Bishopsgate sounds short and sweet

Back gate at station
• IF Liverpool Street station is to be rebuilt, surely this would be a golden opportunity to rename it? It has, after all, nothing to do with the city of Liverpool.
My suggestion is it ought to be renamed Bishopsgate, its original name before being relocated a century ago. This could also bring it into line with other London stations bearing the suffix gate.
Bishopsgate sounds short and sweet and seems quite appropriate for this area. The term too might be a great help to the growing number of tourists.
