"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.


Is it going to be a true interchange, or an outerchange? Will there be a
behind-the-gateline route from WLL to Central platforms?
