There is another map of the London Overground. It's in Ken's free
newspaper The Londoner. But this one shows not only Shepherd's Bush
station but also Imperial Wharf on the WLL.

That appears to be a version of the original geographic map from the
launch last year:

Looking at this map, I can't help thinking that now is a good time to
rename Wandsworth Road station, especially since it will be on the
tube map but Wandsworth Town won't.


Well, the station's on Wandsworth Road innit?

Knowing the area somewhat, I have to say I found it difficult to come
up with a decent alternative name given that the station's location is
on the edge of Battersea, Clapham and Stockwell (just about).


Batterclapstock?


Sounds like something from Gilbert & Sullivan - APPROVED!

Seahamwell?


Sounds like a nuclear reactor.

Baphell?


Sounds like a Sunday Sport headline.
