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

"What are we going to call this brand new station, then?"
"Shepherd's Bush."
"Right. So it doesn't matter that there's already a Shepherd's Bush on
the Central Line?"
"No."

"No."

"No."

"Shepherd's Bush. No other names are available."

One of the reasons for building is to interchange with the Central
Line station next door, so giving them the same name makes a lot of
sense. The H&C station is being renamed Shepherd's Bush Market in the
next year or two.
