By convention the full English names of stations are used - the name as given by National Rail Enquires is considered to be definitive.

The above is the final part of the rules section. In the last few postings, there was a posting # 128112 made of "Olympia" which seems to contravene the above directive.

Olympia is also the common name of the station, it appears on the front of the train and on announcements occasionally too.

That may well be the case, but this is an internet quiz, with rules as written by the forum quizmasters when the quiz rules were totally re-written by them in 2017.

If the rules on this quiz state "By convention, the full English names are used" and "the name as given by National Rail Enquiries is considered to be definite", then on this quiz, these quiz rules surely supercede any common usage.
