Another slightly annoying thing is the name, Shepherd's Bush.

To be fair, it will interchange with the central line so calling them
both Shepherd's Bush makes sense.

The H&C one needs a rename, mind.

Preferably along with Bethnal Green (NR), Edware Road (Bakerloo),
Caledonian Road & Barnsbury and Finchley Road & Frognal. Confusing
buggers.
