Cannot convert from 'const char [11]' to 'char [25]'

I am fairly new to C++, I have started to write some code and i have realised that i am having dificulty assigning char values, there is probably a very easy solution i just can't think/remember it.

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//define structure Station
struct Station {
	int	ID;
	int Founded;
	char Name[25];
	int NextClockwise;
	int NextAnti;
	Station* NextP;
};
int main()
{
	//declare atart and current pointers
	typedef Station* StartP;
	Station* CurrentP;

	CurrentP=new Station;
	//dynamically allocation
	CurrentP->ID=1;
	CurrentP->Founded=1863;
	CurrentP->Name="Padington";
	CurrentP->NextClockwise=0;
	CurrentP->NextAnti=0;
	CurrentP->NextP=NULL;

Check out the strcpy or sprintf functions. Although since you're using c++ you might want to leave these c-style functions and use the string class instead of char pointers/arrays.
